As restrictions continue to be lifted, there are many questions as to what you can do.

It is expected that cinemas, libraries and swimming pools will be opened within days.

Each venue will need to comply with social distancing rules.

Make sure that you do your research before you arrive at a venue – you may need to make a booking or undergo temperature checks.
