This announcement was made by Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden who said that "normal life is slowly returning".

As well as sport facilities; beauticians and nail salons will also be able to open their doors again soon.

Outdoor theatres will also be able to start, with tests being carried out to see if socially-distanced indoor performances could take place.

Oliver Dowden said people must "do their bit" by buying tickets to support venues like galleries, and that they should "make the most of this summer safely".

Outdoor pools and waterparks will be able to reopen.

Organised outdoor team sports (like cricket) will begin again.

Theatres and music venues can start doing outdoor performances.
