Easing of COVID restrictions

The planned roadmap has reached step four and the government has advised that most COVID 19 restrictions can be lifted. This includes removing limits on social contact, social distancing, the legal requirement to wear face coverings and table service in restaurants and bars.

However, the government are advising that we remain vigilant and make informed decisions on protecting ourselves and those around us.

Visitor safety is a priority for TraffordCity venues and attractions so please keep an eye on this page for information as we receive it.

When visiting Barton Square and businesses within the centre, please ensure you follow the latest government guidelines.

Government advice continues to recommend wearing a face covering while in crowded areas.

We want everyone to feel safe and welcome when visiting us.

Please respect other people’s space.

Some businesses may request that you continue to follow specific guidance, use face coverings, or limit entries. Please respect these requests for the wellbeing of staff and other visitors, and we advise to bring a face covering with you in case you are asked to wear one.

We want to reassure you that the wellbeing of our staff and visitors is our priority. We continue to follow measures at this site including:

Chill Factore

A number of positive changes we made to our procedures due to COVID 19 guidelines will remain in place such as the cleaning and hygiene regime and reduced capacities on adult lessons, Snow Park and lift passes on our Main Slope. We will also be reopening our changing cubicles.

While we recommend wearing a mask in an indoor environment, this will be your personal choice and will not be mandatory for guests or for our team. We ask that you respect each person’s own decision and we will continue to provide a safe and clean environment for you to fully enjoy your visit.

We will continue to review guest and team feedback over the summer as well as keeping abreast of government guidelines and will assess our procedures and policies as we go back into hopefully a busy winter season.
