Leisure firms say they need more support after a year of haemorrhaging cash and mounting debts due to the pandemic.
Businesses from wine bars to bingo halls can reopen on Monday but at reduced capacity making it harder to cover their costs.
Business minister Kwasi Kwarteng told the BBC he did not want rent arrears to cripple firms.
He said the government was looking at ways to help firms manage their debts.
While leisure venues, including soft play centres, amusement arcades and concert halls, are welcoming Monday s reopening, they know some customers will take longer to return to indoor activities, especially with the spread of the new Indian variant of the virus.
