<p>The changes to the Regulations are to reduce social interaction of groups larger
than six, in order to reduce transmission of COVID-19. The Regulations do not prevent
life cycle events from taking place, but they are subject to the rule of six.</p><p>If
a family chooses to have their life cycle event as a private ceremony, then the number
of attendees must be capped at six people (unless everyone attending is from the same
household or support bubble, where numbers may be higher). However, there are circumstances
where life cycle events happen within the course of communal worship. In such circumstances,
unless relevant exemptions apply, groups must not interact in a way which breaches
the rule of six.</p><p>Where a life cycle event takes part within a communal worship
service, attendees can only mingle with the groups of up to six people that they attend
with and they will be subject to the restrictions and guidance for communal worship
which can be found in the Guidance for the Safe Use of Places of Worship.</p>
