Weekend pointers:-
- PLEASE observe our Bio-Security measures. Foot dips and hand washes will be in place of each door of the 50k & 100k. PLEASE use each time you visit!
- Do NOT venture into our quarantine area, this will be taped off. Anyone found in this area will be kindly asked to leave. We have worked VERY hard to be one of the few CEFAS authorised facilities in the Uk. Please respect this.
- Do not try to calm the dogs in their kennel, they will not calm to anyone but Richard & Donna. You will just upset them more.
- Our toilet will be open all night, but our shop will be closed off.
- Please only smoke at the front of our Car Park or for those staying right at the top of the field on the right hand side. We have crops around us, and it is very dry at present so we do not wish for any accidents
- Please place all your rubbish into the skip provided on the Sunday morning as you are leaving.
