Visitor Info

Located in the car park, playbarn and central main park.

Located in the car park and central main park.

Located in all toilet areas.

Hand washing stations are located at short intervals around the park. Antibacterial soap, hot running water and hand towels or dryers are provided at each station and using these is the safest method for keeping you and your family safe. Please encourage all members of your party to wash their hands thoroughly after any animal contact and especially before eating and drinking, even if no contact with the animals has been made. Antibacterial foams and gels are not recommended and are not as effective as a substitute for soap and hot running water.

The whole park is accessible for buggies but please note that for fire safety reasons buggies are not permitted in the PlayBarn. We do have an undercover buggy park, which is a safe dry place to leave your buggy.

For the safety of all staff, customers and animals, bikes and scooters are not permitted in the park. We have our own bikes, trikes and scooters for the children to ride in a specially secured area.

The whole park is accessible for wheelchair users with the exception of the upstairs play area.

For the safety and comfort of our animals dogs are not permitted into the park. Some animals (particularly pregnant ewes) can be seriously affected by the stress caused by dogs. Assistance dogs are of course welcome, and we ask where possible that your dog wears an identifying jacket and is kept on a lead. This helps other customers recognise your dog as an assistance dog and give them the space they need. It also helps to avoid confusion over whether pets are allowed on the farm.

If there is an issue with your dog wearing a jacket or being on a lead please contact us ahead of your visit on 01582 841044 so that we are aware in advance. We will happily work with you and your assistance dog to make sure you get the best out of your visit.

The PlayBarn café offers, sandwiches, toasties, paninis and hot pasties and pies, as well as snacks, ice creams and lunch boxes for the kids. At weekends and during school holidays in the summer season the 'Munch Box' is also open for whippy ice cream, ice cream and lollies, slushies, crisps, snacks and hot and cold drinks.

At Woodside we take our health and safety seriously. Should you require a copy of any of our risk assessments please do not hesitate to ask.
