We can’t wait to welcome you on your upcoming Shearings holiday, and we want to ensure your experience is one to remember. In light of the current situation regarding COVID-19, this document is intended to provide you with relevant information for your holiday.
As the government frequently updates the guidelines, we ask that you keep yourself up-to-date on the latest advice.
When travelling to Europe each country that you travel through will have their own rules that you need to know, but even staying closer to home it is important you are aware of varying restrictions as Scotland, Wales, Ireland, the Isle of Man and Channel Islands all have their own authorities and their own guidance.
Many venues such as hotels and attractions throughout the UK will have their own risk-assessments and their own procedures internally, and it is important you follow the guidance of the venue you are in.
As we all transition back to a more normal way of life, there is a responsibility on all of us to keep ourselves and each other safe, even though official restrictions are easing. Please be respectful of your fellow travellers and staff so that everyone can have an enjoyable holiday!
