As a responsible business, during this coronavirus outbreak we have followed Government Guidance and because pubs have been closed under that Guidance, we have had to postpone our tours.

As from 4 July, pubs and restaurants will be allowed to reopen if they comply with regulations regarding COVID19 secure venues. The specific guidance on Going to a pub or restaurant with members of another household states that:

“From 4 July, when eating or drinking out with people you do not live with, you should only meet one other household if you are seated indoors. People from more than two households at once cannot meet indoors. If you are eating or drinking outdoors, you can do so with one other household or in a group of up to 6 people from different households.”

Further Guidance states that from 4 July, you should:

only gather indoors in groups of no more than two households (including your support bubble) – this includes when dining out or going to the pub
only gather outdoors in either a group of up to 6 people from different households or up to two households (including your support bubble)
only gather in slightly larger groups of up to 30 for major life events, such as weddings
not hold or attend celebrations of any size (such as parties) where it is difficult to maintain social distancing

Obviously, at this stage this Guidance does not allow us to reschedule our tours. However, as soon as Government Guidance indicates that we can do so we will launch a number of dates so that you and your party can come along as planned.

Of course, there will be no extra charges for this change to your scheduled tour. Please be assured that as soon as we are able to do so, we shall email you with those dates and we look forward to seeing you when it is possible to do so.

As a small business, we do not have any loss of earnings or business interruption insurance for this scenario and need to keep our business afloat. We are incredibly vulnerable in this situation and greatly appreciate your support.

Please note that all vouchers expiration dates will be extended for the duration of the UK Government lockdown starting from the 23rd March 2020. For example, should we be able to restart on 1st August 2020, we will extend the vouchers for 10 weeks.

Stay safe and take care.
