*Site restrictions due to high winds - Sat 21 and Sun 22 Dec*

We will be open on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 December with some restrictions in place. Our foxproof gates will remain closed with no access to the woodlands at the east and west of site. Our inner circle with collection animals and wader lake will remain open and our Elf Academy event will be taking place as expected. Please keep an eye on social media for any updates at the weekend.
