Terms and conditions

Please spare a moment to read this — we’ve kept it as brief as we can:

1. Membership is valid for entry on all open days for 12 months from when you join; we’re open every day from mid-March until early January, and the farmyard and adventure playground are also open during February half-term. Please note the farmyard and adventure playground are closed during the country fair, but there will be a farmyard stand at this event.
2. Reserving Friends tickets in advance is essential during Christmas, early November to the beginning of January and recommended for all your visits.
3. Children aged 15 or under must be accompanied by an adult at all attractions and organised events. Accompanying adults are responsible for supervising the children in their care at all times.
4. All adult members must have a photo on the admissions system.
5. Membership cards are not transferable.
6. Unfortunately, we cannot refund complimentary tickets, should the event(s) be completely or partially cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control.
