Aycliffe Town Centre management are once again to provide a family fun fair during the half term break.
Turners Fun Fair and the Town Centre Management have worked hard to create a safe environment for families to attend the five day event. They have followed the strict guidance which has been placed around this type of event, including risk assessments covering all Covid-19 restrictions and guidelines, Local Government Association Outdoor Event Guidance as well as a comprehensive event plan and a site plan showing the queueing and one-way system arrangements for families to follow.
All the staff have been trained and will follow the risk assessment guidelines including: increased hand washing, regular and routine disinfecting, provision of hand sanitiser in all areas, strict application of social distancing (presently 1 metre plus, although 2 metres is recommended) and a continual dynamic risk assessment to monitor numbers of people and reacting to overcrowding. Staff shall maintain an overview of numbers and close the entrance(s) to further admissions whenever it is felt that the number of persons permitted has been reached.
The organisers are hoping this is an opportunity for families to venture out of their homes to an organised event and enjoy an activity arranged around household families going out together.
The event will take place from Saturday 24th to Wednesday 28th October from 10.00am to 7.00pm in various locations including Bewick Crescent car park, the town centre mall and the small car park behind the Leisure Centre (see page 5 for full details).
