‘We’re Good to Go’

The ‘We’re Good to Go’ COVID-19 UK industry standard and consumer mark shows that a business adheres to Government and public health guidelines. The mark is granted by Visit Britain and reassures consumers that the venue or attraction has clear processes in place to ensure safety during COVID-19.

Venues in Leicester & Leicestershire that have the ‘We’re Good to Go’ trademark will have the logo displayed under the ‘Awards’ section of their profile on the Meet Leicester Website. The logo is shown below.

Many of our venues have implemented measures to ensure your safety when visiting. On each venues’ profile page, you will find their COVID response, which shows a brief list of measures implemented by the venue.

If you cannot see the 'We're Good to Go' logo on a venue’s profile or you have any other queries regarding a venue or hotel’s COVID-19 measures, please check their website or contact them directly prior to travel.
