Our events are conditional on government regulations on public events.  

Guidance applicable from 17 May 2021:

  • People will be able to attend indoor and outdoor events, including live performances, sporting events and business events.
  • Attendance at these events will be capped according to venue type, and attendees should follow the COVID-secure measures set out by those venues.
  • Social distancing is still very important. You should stay 2 metres apart from anyone who is not in your household or support bubble where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place (such as wearing face coverings) if you cannot stay 2 metres apart.
  • You must wear a face-covering in many indoor settings, such as shops and places of worship, and on public transport, unless you are exempt or have a reasonable excuse. This is the law.
  • To help protect yourself and your friends, family, and community you should continue to follow all of the guidance on this page even if you’ve been vaccinated against COVID-19.
