COVID-19 status checks
All attendees (visitors, exhibitors, speakers, contractors, venue staff and event team) to the Nursery World Show, must be able to demonstrate proof of COVID-19 status for entry to the event.This will need to be one of the following:
- proof of completion of a full course of vaccination two weeks prior to arrival.
- proof of a negative lateral flow test result taken within 48hrs of arrival*.
- proof of natural immunity as shown by a positive PCR test result for COVID-19, lasting for 180 days from the date of the positive test and following completion of the self-isolation period.
Although it is not mandatory to implement COVID-19 status checks at trade-show events, we believe by doing so we add an additional layer of reassurance for all attendees.
Exemptions:
- in accordance, with NHS and Government guidelines, there will be a small number of exemptions for individuals who have a medical reason which means they cannot vaccinate or test.
- individuals under 18 will not be required to demonstrate their COVID-19 status. However, we recommend that these participants still take a lateral flow test within 48hrs of arrival.
If you have COVID-19 symptoms then please DO NOT enter into this event and follow the current government guidance.

DURING THE EVENT
Face Coverings
It is no longer mandatory to wear face coverings, however, we do encourage you to wear a face covering in crowded areas or while in close proximity to other people.
We ask that you carry a mask with you at all times and be courteous to those around you by wearing a mask in areas that may become busy and in sessions taking place in enclosed spaces.
Social Distancing
We have introduced 3m aisles where possible across the entire event to encourage social distancing.
Please remember to respect the space of others and, if possible, avoid handshaking or hugs - consider an elbow bump instead.
Hand Sanitiser
Please carry your own hand sanitiser and apply when you enter and leave exhibitor stands, features and theatres.
There will be dedicated hand sanitising stations available throughout the exhibition and venue.
We have asked exhibitors to ensure a deeper clean before, during and after the show opens each day.
Along with the BDC, we are conducting a thorough, enhanced cleaning regime of all public areas and features prior to show opening and during show open periods.
