Hairdressers, beauty and nail salons and gyms can also open.
Pubs and restaurants can serve food and alcohol outdoors only. The rule of six up to six people, or two separate households will apply, as will social distancing rules and the wearing of a face masks.

Businesses hoping that regatta will still happen );

BUSINESS owners are holding out hope that Henley Royal Regatta will go ahead this year and remain in the town.
Organisers have postponed the event until Wednesday to Sunday, August 10 to 15 to allow more time for the easing of the coronavirus restrictions to take effect.
They felt the original dates of June 29 to July 4 were too soon as the infrastructure had to start being built in March.
However, with a restriction on the number of spectators allowed to attend, the regatta may still be held at Dorney Lake in Buckinghamshire instead or could be cancelled for the second year running.
