Covid-19 precautions
There is no need to book in for any of our standard services - just turn up. Our current covid-19 precautions are as follows:
- Please don't come if you are feeling unwell, to help protect others from all illnesses (coughs, colds, flu etc as well as covid) which are likely to be prevalent this Winter and Spring. [Here's a useful article on how to tell the difference between symptoms of a cold and of covid.]
- We encourage people to sanitise their hands on entry and it is currently mandatory to wear face masks (unless exempt)
- Windows and doors will be kept open for added ventilation
- If you want, you can pick up a 'please leave this seat empty' sign on the way in, and put it next to you. For those who are very nervous about being near other people, you may prefer to sit in the balcony where there is more room to maintain social distancing
