Everyone admitted to the hall will be subject to checks where you will be required to show proof of either having your double jab, immunity or a lateral flow test taken within a 48 hour period prior. Please ensure any deliveries being made from external couriers are made aware of these checks or they will be refused entry to the hall until they can comply.
If you or anyone from your stand has symptoms and as a result return a positive test you must isolate and follow government guidelines. Please ensure you have contingencies in place for breakdown to ensure the full removal of your stand on the timeframes given for the show.
COVID-19 Valid Entry Passes & NHS App
The accepted method of showing COVID-19 status is as follows:
- NHS COVID Pass via the NHS App (NB This is different to the NHS COVID-19 Test and Trace app).It is advised individuals apply no later than 48 hours before attending their event to allow for the application to be processed in time.
If you need help using the NHS App to gain your COVID Pass, watch this helpful quick video.
- Proof of immunity shown by a positive PCR test result for COVID-19, lasting for 180 days from the date of the positive test and following completion of the self-isolation period.
- Lateral flow or PCR negative test results text or e-mail, received within 72 hours prior to attending the event. However, we would encourage visitors to complete their test within 48 hours as some organisers/promoters may request the shorter timeframe.
- If visitors would prefer not to use the app or do not have a smartphone they can obtain a NHS COVID Pass letter (proving vaccination status only) by calling 119 or visiting the NHS website.
- EU Digital or paper COVID Certificate. International visitors can show their equivalent Covid Pass from their country of origin.
Visitors with a medical exemption should advise a member of staff during the checking process.
