Keeping you Safe + Secure

Requirements for events change on a frequent basis so please check back for further information in the lead-up to the Show as we will be updating this page on a regular basis.

All Covid-19 related procedures will adhere to the latest government guidance for events and attractions as well as to the Event Industry Alliance’s All Secure Stand 2.0

We take our responsibility for the health and safety for everybody at the Museums + Heritage Show incredibly seriously and we will be working closely with our venue and contractors to ensure a safe environment for all. 

The Museums + Heritage Show has sole occupancy of its space within Olympia which means we have exclusive use of the entrance, foyer and facilities including toilets and catering. 

On 27 January 2022, government guidance was updated to remove the remaining Plan B measures on face coverings and COVID-19 status checks.

  • Whilst at the time of writing it is not mandatory to wear masks in event spaces, the Museums + Heritage Show will be a mask-friendly event and our attendees are encouraged to consider wearing a mask, particularly in more crowded areas Read more about face coverings.
  • Events are no longer required by law to check the COVID-19 status of our participants. However, we will be monitoring the situation closely and will introduce checks if it is appropriate to do so in May. All pre-registered visitors will be notified in advance of the Show, should checks be required. If implemented, we will also provide further details on how to prove your COVID-19 status.
