Answer
Under the current restrictions, you cannot leave home for recreational or leisure purposes. It is against the law for anyone, including children under 12 years old, to meet socially with friends outdoors unless they are part of the same household or a support bubble.
The Government keeps its restrictions under continual review and will make changes if the data and science supports it.
