Hope in sight for final lifting of lockdown

Hey, we hope you are starting to enjoy summer or whatever season, wherever you are. In the UK—especially England—the news on what we can and cannot do keeps changing day by day.

The latest is that restrictions which were expected to be lifted 21 June will remain in place given the number of cases Covid-19, largely the ‘Delta’ variant of the virus.

Most restrictions likely to be lifted on 19 July, except overseas travel.

So as of 1 July this is what is in force in England (partly courtesy of BBC News):

Limits on people mixing indoors: a max of six people or two households.

Pubs, theatres and cinemas: still have to operate within capacity limits - cinemas and theatres limited to 50% and pubs / restaurants table service only.

Nightclubs: to remain closed.

Large events: crowds at some pilot events will be permitted – not clear whether this includes any Pride festivals.

Sports: limited numbers of people allowed to attend sports events.

Weddings and civil partnerships: more than 30 guests can now attend a celebration.

Face coverings: still in force in shops / indoor public spaces; new guidance expected. Fingers crossed for 19 July!

Love & Pink Respect from Dave & the team,
PinkUk

More support for loyal PinkUk listed venues

PinkUk is growing. We have just reached another mile stone, in that we have now passed 3,000 listed venues. We are also receiving a lot more visitors from the USA, not far behind the visitors from the UK. We also check all the venues; so no listing should be much more than two years since it was last updated. This should reduce the problem of venues that are no longer in business showing up on listings sites. Please let us know if any venues no longer exist or are out of date.
