COVID-19 Guidance
Attending an event: What to expect
We are conducting all our events with appropriate controls in an effort to keep everyone safe and to do what we can to minimise the risk of COVID-19 infection to our visitors and staff. The revised guidance under which we will operate events is set out below.
Before and when you arrive at our event
Anyone attending one of our events is encouraged to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (unless they are unable to be vaccinated) and we ask that you have a negative lateral flow test before attending. Please do not attend if you or anyone in your household is experiencing symptoms as per the NHS website – our priority is to keep everyone safe.
During the event
Everyone at our events will need to follow staff guidance and should maintain one metre social distancing where possible. Facemasks are not mandatory although we recommend, they are worn in indoor spaces where you will come into contact with people you do not normally meet. This is however a personal choice. Masks will be available at the registration desk and we will also have hand sanitiser available.
Car Parking
Participants can park at the front of the building and is free of charge. Space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
