People who wish to visit should call first.

The hospice said it is also:

. suspending the WayFinders Walking Bereavement Support Group until further notice

The coffee shop has also been closed.

The hospice said: “Our teams are getting in touch with patients to inform them of these changes.

“These are unprecedented times and we want to thank you for your patience and understanding during this crisis as our hospice teams do all they can to continue to be there.

“Updates will follow.”
