BARNES

ISSUED: 01/03/2021 & Safety Measures For Your Trip

Following the latest Government briefing (22/02/21) We are delighted to confirm that with the Government road map plan, we will be able to start to operate a select range of day trips to outdoor attractions (eg. seaside, shopping, gardens, and zoos etc.) from the 12th of April, and indoor attractions from the 17th May onwards along with our holiday tours. For Theatres and concerts, we do rely on hearing the status of the shows from the event promoters. Once we have been notified, we will be in contact with all our customers to confirm.

We will be running all our tours on a reduced capacity for the remainder of this year, so make sure to book ahead now to avoid disappointment! Hopefully as lockdown eases and the vaccine roll out progresses, not all of the below safety measures will be needed. We do advise to please check our Coronavirus webpage for any changes to these policies before your trip.
