COVID Measures

We are being led by government guidance and we have done all we can to responsibly organise the event to reduce risk where we can.

We ask that everyone attending is mindful that attendees and standholders may care for, work with, and/or live with vulnerable people, and be respectful of the measures the WPCC, Civic Centre and individual attendees have put in place to keep people safe while attending this event.

We expect attendees to act responsibly and adhere to the following guidance while attending the event: -

(this will be easily accessible at points around the building)
