New coronavirus secure guidance for the hospitality sector means businesses and tourist attractions can re-open in England from 4 July, with some exceptions. Tourist attractions forced to close during the lockdown are putting social distancing measures in place and are preparing to reopen.

Most of our suppliers are putting social distancing and safety measures in place and are preparing to re-open in England from 4 July. 
As our suppliers ready themselves for visitors we will begin to add booking options throughout our website. If an attraction is available to book you can be confident that they are open and all measures are in place for the best possible experience. 

Know Before You Go with VisitBritain:

Britain is beginning to re-open, but it’s important to check the official websites of organisations and attractions in advance, to ensure you’re up to date on opening hours and any measures in place before you travel. To find out the latest information and guidance, visit Know Before You Go.

The impact of the coronavirus and the measures in place to tackle it are making it increasingly difficult to provide mail services to all destinations.

For further details, please reach out to our customer service team.

This will depend on the product(s) that you have purchased. We have been working with our suppliers to offer as much flexibility as possible at this time.
