The Welsh Government recognises the value of the events sector to Wales and how cultural, sports and business events are a vital part of the visitor economy and one of the last sectors left to re-open.Initially three small events, with limits of up to 100 people, and subject to strict risk assessments, will be held across Wales later this month.
Outdoor events are being prioritised in this review period, while the weather is mild, due to evidence of lower transmission of coronavirus outdoors.If these small events can be carried out safely, and transmission of the virus remains low, it is hoped the next stage will be increased numbers of participants, allowing a limited number of spectators to attend sporting events and potentially considering trialling small scale business events.In the coming weeks three small scale events will be trialled to inform future review processes.
Outdoor events of up to 100 people:
- Theatr Clwyd’s proposals for a number of live outdoor performances from 27 August
- Welsh Triathlon’s planned ‘Return to Racing’ competition at Pembrey Country Park which will be a closed venue and without spectators
- a car rally at Anglesey Circuit/Trac Mon Race track
