What venues are reopening?

From Friday, nightclubs, which have been closed for almost 19 months, will reopen their doors at full capacity. Live music and arts venues will also open with both standing and seated audiences. People can reserve multiple tables with a maximum of 10 people (or up to 15 people with children) at each table, in bars, restaurants, and venues.
