Beer gardens and outdoor tourism get opening date in Wales

A reopening date for beer gardens and outdoor tourism in Wales has been announced.

The First Minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford will tomorrow set out a series of measures that will take Wales fully into Alert Level 3 by May, 17 subject to public health conditions remaining favourable.

All remaining non-essential retail and close contact services will be allowed to reopen from Monday 12 April, while the rules will also be changed to allow travel into and out of Wales from the rest of the United Kingdom and Common Travel Area.

This will allow holidaymakers to come to Wales with self contained accommodation already open.

Changes remain subject to public health conditions continuing to remain favourable.

The Welsh Government will also signal further changes it aims to confirm at the 22 April review, which would see outdoor attractions and outdoor hospitality reopen, including at cafes, pubs and restaurants on Monday 26 April.

This will allow beer gardens and also sites like zoos to reopen.

By early May, they said plans include allowing organised outdoor activities for up to 30 people to take place, and for gyms, leisure centres and fitness facilities to reopen for individual or one-to-one training but not exercise classes.

There is no update at this stage for indoor tourism but more details are to be announced on Friday.
