Coronavirus (Covid-19) Guidance

We will update our Coronavirus Guidance regularly, signposting you to the most relevant sources of information.

The government has announced that the measures put in place under Plan B in England will be lifted.

This means that from 27 January 2022:

  • The government is no longer asking people to work from home if they can.
  • There is no longer a legal requirement to wear a face covering.
  • Venues and events will no longer be required by law to check visitors’ NHS COVID Pass.
  • It is still a legal requirement for those who have tested positive for Covid to self-isolate.

The Chancellor announced (21/12/2021) that additional support will be available for businesses, with £30m in funding for the Culture Recovery Fund to support organisations such as theatres, orchestras & museums through the winter to March 2022.
