Coronavirus - Know Before You Go

Open for Business 

In response to the easing of lockdown restrictions, local businesses have been working hard getting ‘We’re Good To Go’ accredited and putting safety measures in place to be able to re-open from the 4th July.

Many of our favourite Shopping, Accommodation, Attractions and Food and Drink businesses are slowly beginning to reopen their doors from July 4th and welcome us once again,

Our What's Open Page contains a regularly updated list of partners who have re-opened so far. Business have only been allowed to re-open if they are following COVID-19 secure guidelines.

Many of our favourite restaurants, cafés and bars are still offering delivery and collection services which you can find on our Home Delivery & Online Services page.

Some of our partners are also taking part in the Eat out to help out scheme. Meaning you could grab some great discounts on food and drink during August. Head to our food & drink special offers page to see who is taking part.

- Please visit these pages for the latest information and as the situation is liable to change, always check with the individual businesses directly regarding availability, opening times and any new processes that may affect your visit.

Social Distancing in Public Places

You may have noticed new signs around town asking you to keep your distance and to keep left. This is part of a strategy to help maintain social distancing and keep our spaces safe and welcoming. 

You can find more information regarding Social Distancing in Public Places on the BCP council website.
