A big day for tenpin bowling lovers, gamblers and parents with children climbing the walls – as bowling alleys, casinos and soft play centres are now permitted to open across most of England.
Music venues, comedy clubs and theatres can also throw wide their doors for the first time since March, after the government’s announcement on Thursday.
And wedding receptions with up to 30 guests can also take place as of this weekend as part of the easing of restrictions.
Except that is, if you live in the area covered by the northern lockdown.
Closures will remain in place in Greater Manchester, parts of east Lancashire and chunks of West Yorkshire until at least next week.
