PATS Telford 2021 - COVID-19 Latest Information, last updated 17th May 2021

We want your PATS Telford 2021 experience to be safe and stress free, so we will be putting in place a host of measures in line with government guidelines:-

• Please bring and wear a face covering at all times whilst inside the venue
• You are required to socially distance whilst on-site where possible
• Please bring your own hand sanitiser to use at the show. A limited supply will be available at entrance points at the venue and on certain stands, but it is a good idea to carry your own travel-size bottle with you
• There may be one way systems in operation at the show in order to facilitate social distancing - please take note of all relevant signage to enable these to run smoothly
• Aisles have been widened to facilitate social distancing
• There will be an enhanced cleaning regime in place in all areas of the venue
• Greater space has been allocated for catering and seating to enable social distancing, with of course, enhanced cleaning in those areas too

Extra precautions will be taken by staff at the Venue, Organisers and Exhibitors to reduce any risk of the transmission of COVID-19 on-site at the show, including an assessment of the risk of transmission in all areas. 

We continue to monitor the current situation, information can be found at www.gov.uk and www.nhs.uk. Pilot events will continue to run throughout May and following these events further guidelines will be announced and we will adapt accordingly.
