Keeping you safe

All of our venues are fully open and to ensure all of our visitors feel safe, our staff will continue to give you extra space and we encourage visitors to respect others’ space.  Wearing masks for both staff and visitors is optional. 

We will continue to monitor numbers to ensure our venues do not become too crowded and we will maintain increased cleaning.
