More good lockdown news from local businesses




More local businesses and attractions have made announcements on Facebook about their return from the coronavirus lockdown.

Fouzies Cafe, Llangollen posted:To all our wonderful and supportive customers:

“We’ve been overwhelmed with such a positive outcome for our take away and delivery service during COVID-19.

“A huge thanks from all of us at Fouzis for your continuous support.

“As of Wednesday, we will no longer be offering this service, as preparation is underway for Fouzis opening (we do believe it will be very soon) with social distancing in mind, i.e reducing our covers and dividing tables in accordance with government requirements.

“We want to be open for business as soon as government says it is safe to do so. Once we are open, we would like to ask for your patience and understanding, as this will be new situation for our business as for everyone else.

“Opening date will be announced through social media as soon as we know more information.

“Once again, thank you for your support with delivery and take away service through this difficult few months. It is much appreciated and means a lot to us.

“We are looking forward to seeing you all again.”


Llangollen-based Bearded Men Adventures posted: “Good news… BMA is BACK! 

“Due to the recent news from the Welsh government, we are excited to now be taking bookings for activities taking place from 11th July onwards, with a 100% refund option.

“The nature and organisation of all activities offered is of course in line with government guidelines and as these change, we will review and update you on what’s possible.

“You can also book with absolute confidence. All bookings are 100% refundable if Coronavirus issues mean the activity has to be cancelled. See our BMA Guarantee below!

“Current activities and key points: - As of today, we are accepting bookings for river tubing, canoe aqueduct tours, archery & axe throwing and canyoning.

“- Activities are for groups of no more than 6 people per activity, from a maximum of 2 households.

“- From the moment you arrive until you leave, we will maintain social distancing rules in line with the current government guidelines for that day, which is currently at 2 meters.

“- If anybody from your household has shown symptoms in the past 2 weeks before your booking date, we will have to cancel that booking. If this happens, we will offer a full refund or changing the date.

“We don’t want Coronavirus to limit you any more than it already has. However, rest assured you won’t lose ANY of your money if it does. From this point onwards, if your booking is cancelled due to Coronavirus, we will give you a full refund, or a voucher to book another activity with us.

“In addition to the above, it is important to note that from 6 July, people can travel to Wales (from England) for day trips, but not overnight stays. Restaurants, pubs, accommodation, public toilets etc will however remain closed across all of Wales, but we understand things are scheduled to change substantially from 13 July.

“Hopefully, from this point onwards, we can offer an even wider range of activities – we’ll keep you posted. We Can’t Wait To See You! You can book online through our website: https://www.beardedmenadventures.com/ or get in touch via email at hello@beardedmenadventures.com.”


There was good news too from nearby National attraction Chirk Castle, which posted: “Chirk Castle are delighted to announce that they will re-open, or at least partly re-open.

“Chirk Castle gardens and the estate will re-open open week commencing 8th July. The gardens and parklands will open for PRE-BOOKED VISITS ONLY and the shuttle bus from the car park to the gardens will not be in operation. Do not venture up the Castle estate unless you have a valid pre-booked ticket - even if you have a membership pass.

“The castle will initially be operating at 50% of their regular capacity and building up from that.
