COVID 19, the All Secure Standards & your role as an exhibitor!
We are here to answer any questions you may have - please contact the
Operations Team.
We are all too aware of the devastating effect COVID 19 has had in the last 18 months. The live events industry has been working with the Government throughout the pandemic to produce a safe framework for returning to live events. This framework is called the All Secure Standard and has been a collaboration between the Event Industry Group, Trade Associations and major organiser’s. You can click [url=https://www.aeo.org.uk/covid-19]here to download the full guidance, as of 21 July 2021.
Some of these points are explained further throughout the manual but the key COVID measures, and your role as an exhibitor in creating a COVID Secure Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show, with Discovery, in 2021 are also explained below.
COVID Status Verification
The NEC is operating a COVID Status Checks at agreed entry points to help keep everyone safe.
The accepted methods of showing COVID-Status are as follows;
- NHS COVID-19 Pass via the NHS App. (It is advised individuals apply no later than 48 hours before attending their event to allow for the application to be processed in time.)
OR
- Proof of immunity 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.
OR
- Lateral flow or PCR negative test results text or e-mail, received within 48 hours prior to attending the event.
OR
- EU Digital or paper COVID Certificate. International visitors can show their equivalent Covid Pass from their country of origin.
If you would prefer not to use the NHS App or do not have a smartphone you can obtain a NHS COVID-19 Pass letter (proving vaccination status only) by calling 119 or
visiting the NHS website.
If you need help using the NHS App to gain your COVID Pass, watch this helpful quick video.
Exhibitors with a medical exemption should advise a member of staff during the checking process.
COVID PASS QUICK TIP: When you have your proof ready, we find it helps to download or screenshot a copy of your proof and save it to your photos, email or phone wallet. You could also print out a hard copy if you prefer. Having this makes things much easier when you arrive and avoids any mishaps you may encounter with accessing the app or dealing with those pesky low signal moments. Plus, it'll make checking and accessing the venue much quicker, too

Where do I verify my COVID Status?
There are set locations that COVID Status checks take place, and you MUST ensure you attend one of them.

- North 11 Car Park when available, otherwise North 12 Car Park
