It was good to reopen the gates at Old Bolsover Yard to everyone on Monday 15th June which saw non-essential retail shops being allowed to open again in England following some further relaxation by the UK Government to the lockdown rules.
Everyone has been working really hard to ensure that we were ready with The Fabric Den, The Tackle Shop and The Gallery all being rearranged to enable better social distancing inside for visitors. We've had to introduce a few new safety measures to ensure that we do everything we can to minimise any risks still presented by the Coronavirus.
You can find out more and plan your visit here.
