• There is a strict no smoking policy (including vaping) inside Castle Quarter or the car park
• Alcohol is only to be consumed within licensed premises. Customers must stay within the boundaries of the premises that they have purchased their drink from
• Possession of any type of weapon is prohibited
In the event that that a temporary or short-term requirement is needed to comply with national legislation and/or local restrictions, Castle Quarter will display clear direction of what is necessary and ask that all visitors follow the directions. For example, the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in the introduction of public safety measures, including social distancing and wearing of face coverings; a range of signage within Castle Quarter and support from X team members helped make the measures clear to all visitors.
This list does not cover everything. Castle Quarter is private property, and we reserve the right to deny entry to any visitor or ask any visitor to leave whose actions we feel are inappropriate.
Thank you for taking the time to read our Visitor Code and we look forward to welcoming you at Castle Quarter.
