Testing or double vaccine needed for town park concerts
Those attending the Tom Jones and Olly Murs concerts at Telford Town Park in September will have to show they have either been double vaccinated or that they have done a lateral flow test, or have Covid immunity via a PCR test.
Promoters, Orchard Live said they are delighted the concerts can go ahead on September 3 and 5.
"So that all those attending can enjoy a fantastic weekend of music, food, and drink confidently all possible measures are being put in place to ensure the safety of not only those at the event but the wider public at large," a spokesperson said.
Ticket holders will have to present one of three items at the gates: A Covid pass certificate showing proof of double vaccination, with the 2nd dose received at least 14 days before the event; a negative Lateral Flow Test taken within 48 hours of attending, providing email/text confirmation as proof. This applies to anyone over the age of 12 and applies to each day; proof of immunity based upon a positive PCR test within 180 days of the festival, including 10days self-isolation following the result.
"It is very important that you get tested in advance as we will have no testing facilities on site."
There will be a number of other measures including track and track QR codes at key entry points and around the site, sanitiser, and insistence that masks are worn queuing for entry.
