Please note that variations to these guidelines might apply in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and as such the prevailing local regulations must also be taken into account in those areas. Like many activities the way we run Music Bus classes has been drastically affected by changes to the law and health and safety guidance in the UK and we have sought best advice from published information and local environmental health officers as well as working with venue owners and management to ensure the safe operation of classes for all our benefit.
