What are your COVID Secure Measures?
From 14th October 2020, you must not meet socially with friends and family indoors in any setting unless you live with them or have formed a support bubble with them. This includes private homes, and any other indoor venues such as pubs, restaurants and exhibition such as Brickman.
From 18 September 2020, as part of the Government Test and Trace initiative, all visitors MUST also provide their individual contact details. This is a Government requirement.
Arrive at your allotted time slot – you can arrive any time within the slot, but not before or after.
Always follow the one-way route in place and maintain a two-metre distance from other visitors. Please be respectful of your fellow visitors and our staff and volunteers.
If there are children in your family group, please ensure that they are supervised throughout your visit to Brickman.
Please make sure you are following up-to-date Government guidance on meeting up with friends and family who are not part of your household.
Any concerns please email enquiries@tegmjr.com
We are working with safety professionals who have advised us and risked assessed the re opening of the Brickman event. The relaunch has taken into account all of the government legalisation, regulation and advise, and therefore does of course mean that the look and feel of the event will be slightly different. Unfortunately the interactive play area has been suspended until it is safe for it to be reintroduced.
If you have any of the symptoms of COVID you must not come to the exhibition.
As you come to the unit in which the event is being held you may be asked to wait for a few moments as we will only be able to allow a limited number into the shop to allow for Social distancing. We have adjusted your time slots accordingly to prevent any build up of people so you can maintain social distancing.
On arrival you will find plenty of opportunity to clan your hands with the correct sanitiser. You will be asked before entry to complete a form for NHS track and trace, this will contain the name of the lead in the party, the number entering and a working contact number. These will be held for 21 days then destroyed.
All persons over the age of 11 will be required to wear face marks (unless you have a medical condition) which excludes you from doing so.
Once inside you will be free to move around the exhibits following a oneway system where you will find 2M markers on the floor to help with social distancing.
