Step 3 of the Government’s roadmap will take place from Monday 17 May 2021

Indoor hospitality, accommodation and entertainment such as cinemas and softplay centres will all be able to reopen from Monday. All accommodation providers including hotels and B&B’s will be able to welcome visitors again. Wedding venues will also be allowed to accommodate gatherings of up to 30 people. This is the first time this year some Mid Devon businesses can reopen and welcome back their customers.

Adrian Welsh – Strategic Manager Growth, Economy and Delivery states that:

“We would like to give our businesses a warm welcome back and encourage residents to support our local businesses by shopping local and shopping safe in Mid Devon.”

“Mid Devon businesses have worked really hard over the last year to adjust to the changing restrictions. This recent easing will be welcomed by our businesses and residents. Our hospitality sector will be fully operational with cafes, restaurants and pubs reopening from Monday.”

“When coming into town, please remember to maintain social distancing, follow the one way systems (where they apply) and to wear a mask (if you’re not exempt). Remember to plan ahead and book your tables at our cafes, restaurants and pubs as you don’t want to miss out!”

Remember to Protect yourself, Respect others and Shop local.
