Suffolk s tourist industry will also be given a much needed boost as hotels and other types of accommodation can open to guests, previously only self-catering accommodation with no shared facilities could open.
Step 3 will mean that 30 people will be able to attend weddings, receptions, funerals, and commemorative events including wakes.
The four steps set out in the national roadmap will apply to all regions of England at the same time.
And following the move to Step 3, it is likely that more settings will be allowed to open unless a specific exemption exists.

Pubs, restaurants, theatres, hotels and indoor attractions across Suffolk and north Essex are preparing to fully reopen as the Government continues on its roadmap out of lockdown.
Following the successful reopening of hairdressers, pub gardens, and non essential shops, we are expecting Step 3 of the easing of Covid-19 lockdown rules to happen from Monday, May 17, 2021.

The main change is that indoor hospitality will be allowed, meaning pubs like the award-winning Unruly Pig in Bromeswell, will be able to offer indoor dining again.

A pub in Needham Market is set to reopen this week under new owners with an extended garden, outdoor bar and huge seating area to create a family-friendly atmosphere.
The Rampant Horse was bought by friends Kevin Wyartt and David Bates in October 2020, both of whom are completely new to the hospitality industry and keen to develop a space to serve local people.

Fret not. There’s still time to put on your brashest Santa hat and head down to a Christmas market this year for some festive fun and there’s nothing like a bit of shopping to give you a well-needed yuletide dopamine hit.
While some cities have had to cancel their shindigs, these places are still jingling their bells and have an assortment of food stalls, shops and entertainment to get you in the festive spirit.
Nottingham’s annual market was closed down this week due to overcrowding fears and isn’t set to open until 2021 after only a day of being open.
