Local funfair operator, Warwicks, are bringing a COVID Secure funfair to Stone’s Westbridge Park over the next two weeks, starting this Friday 7th May.
Looking to bring some safe family fun into Stone, the 6th generation fair will be once again heading to Westbridge Park, following their successful 2020 Covid secure fairs.
The funfair opens on Friday the 7th May and will be open until Sunday 9th. The fair will then be closed Monday 10th – until Wednesday 12th May – reopening on Thursday 13th May until Sunday 16th May.
Opening Times:
- Thursday/Fridays – 6pm until 8:30pm-9:00pm
- Saturdays – 2pm until 8:30pm-9:00pm
- Sundays – 2pm until 6:00pm-7:00pm
The funfairs have been a staple of Stone life, but as they were last time the fair visited in September, there will be changes to the norm as required by COVID regulations.
Warwicks Funfairs told A Little Bit of Stone about their COVID secure procedures for the fair, which worked very well during their 2020 visit:
- The fairground will be fenced with a designated entrance and exit system.
- Face masks will be compulsory for everyone entering the site and MUST be worn when walking around the site and on rides – under 11’s and those exempt from wearing a mask can attend and ride.
- Hand sanitiser stations will be available on each ride.
- Social distancing will be in force on rides with seats left free.
- A one-way system and marked out queuing will be in operation.
- All rides will be token-based to stop cash exchanges between ride attendants and riders.
- A track and trace system will be in place which attendees must complete.
- All rides will be treated with Zoono.
- Rides will be deep cleaned every day with regular cleaning of high contact areas.
- The rule of six will be strongly enforced by the security team .
