Coronavirus FAQs
With the rule of 6 introduced and masks now compulsory in Wales, the increase in local lockdowns, shared facility rules, as well as all the other COVID measures - we thought it would be a good idea to put together a FAQ page to compile some of the questions we have been asked over the last few days.

If you have any queries/questions, or you are still unsure about any of the rules, please let Zoe know by email or phone: zoe@mwtcymru.co.uk / 01654 702653

Remember, there is no such thing as a silly question! - If you are confused, we can guarantee others will be too. Please get in touch.
Are you open during October Half Term?
Attractions, activity providers, places to eat and drink, retailers...

As part of our regional marketing activity, we want to strengthen visitors' confidence and knowledge about what attractions are open and where they can visit, to encourage them to book a stay in Mid Wales.

Looking ahead to October half term in particular (Monday 26th October - Friday 30th October), it would assist us greatly if all our non-accommodation members (attractions, activity providers, places to visit, places to eat and drink, retail), can please take five minutes to complete our short online form.
N.B. Completing the short form above will not update your entry on our website/s. You will need to log-in to Guestlink to update any text/opening times, etc.

Completing the form above helps us to collate information in a much quicker and clearer way, so we can share it with your fellow members, visitors, Visit Wales, and our PR and social media team. Thank you for your time.
