Smaller numbers – There will be fewer people allowed in so that there can be social distancing

Book before you go – Most places won’t let you just wander in if you haven’t booked in advance – even where there is no entry fee

One-way – Many museums willdirect where and how you walk around, following arrows

Set ti mes – Tickets will be for set arrival ti mes and some places won’t allow you to linger for long, so other people can come in

Screens – Staff will oft en be protected behind screens

Toilets – Many loos will be one in, one out

Food – Bringing your own lunch could become more common with fewer cafés and kiosks opening

Longer opening hours – With fewer people being able to go in at a ti me, many places are looking at opening for longer so that they can welcome more of the visitors who want to come

THEME parks, museums and cinemas are working out how to reopen safely, as lockdown eases in England.

Once zoos started opening again, other days-out att racti ons began to prepare to open their doors, too. It’s esti mated they have been losing more than £1 billion a week in ti cket sales and other money spent at the venues.

Chessington World of Adventures in Surrey told First News it was planning to reopen its theme park on 4 July, following a green light from the Government to do so. But, along with other days out, things will be a bit diff erent for visitors. “Guests can expect to have their temperature checked on arrival, hand saniti ser being readily available, social distancing markers, plus empty rows and seats left on rollercoasters,” they told us.

Blackpool’s Pleasure Beach has decided that, on rides where people scream, visitors will be more comfortableif they are made to mask up.

Diff erent places will have their own rules tomake things safe for visitors, but the sorts of things you can expect to see on a day out include:
