What England’s pubs, museums, tour operators and clubs think of the changes

-

Richard Webb, Director, Travel Destinatio­ns, Hertfordsh­ire

‘We have a fairly full programme intending to go ahead in September, including abroad, and we continue to offer those tours.’

Bob Mellor, Chairman, Ipswich Transport Museum

‘Those who own a crystal ball will need new batteries for them!

Elizabeth Young, Licensee, The Carpenters Arms, Dale Abbey, Derbyshire

‘Classics at the Carpenters is a really big event here and they will definitely be welcomed back in the future.’

Michael George Barman, Cornerhous­e, Wrightingt­on, Lancashire

‘We can’t guarantee 100 per cent when it will be. It will hopefully be at some point in summer and the info will be on our website.’

Spokespers­on, Swettenham Arms, Congleton, Cheshire

‘We have no idea when we can welcome meet-ups back but will definitely be welcoming classic car groups back at some point.’

Tony Wilby, Organiser, Dog and Gun Classic Car Meet, Kilby, Leicesters­hire

‘I don’t know when we can re-start until I speak to the pub, but we’ll be having classic cars there again as soon as we’re allowed to.’

Dave Juniper, Organiser, Rickinghal­l Monthly Classic Car Meet, Suffolk

‘We are hoping to re-start on 8 August. There is a test run on the second Saturday in July with just the market. They will see how that one goes. It’s so up in the air at the moment but we’re hoping to get going again.’

Colin Morton, Director, South Yorkshire Transport Museum

‘We’re hoping to re-open in September, but nothing is set in stone.’

Steve Kitney, Financial Controller Classic Grand Touring, Warwickshi­re

‘We think it probably has changed things but we haven’t quite worked out what that means for us yet. Keep an eye on the website.’
