On 19 July 2021, the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson announced that we are to proceed with step 4 of the UK Government roadmap.
However, as we still want to offer a safe environment for both our employees and our customers, the Hampshire Wine School has decided to keep our safe measures in place until 1 September 2021. The situation will be monitored weekly and if after September, the risk looks like it has diminished, it would be possible then for the School to remove all restrictive measures.

The number of people who can attend our own events in a COVID-Secure venue or other venue (such as a garden of a private home) is still determined by how many people a venue can safely accommodate with social distancing measures in place.
The guidance on what you can and cannot do in England has been updated with a summary of changes from 19 July, including a little more information on changes to events.
There is also new information available for those organising an event in venues such as private gardens or on private land.
