Earlier this week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed that the next stage of the Government’s roadmap out of lockdown will be introduced on April 12 as planned.
This means outdoor hospitality, non-essential shops, hairdressers and gyms will all be permitted to reopen, subject to social distancing rules.
Groups of up to six people, or two households, will be able to meet in outdoor terraces and beer gardens in Sheffield’s pubs, restaurants and cafés.
As our readers begin to make plans for meeting friends and family, we have put together a handy list of 20 establishments in Sheffield that will be opening for alfresco dining from this month.
Please get in touch by emailing [email protected] if you would like your café, pub or restaurant to be added to the list.
