CENTRE AREA CLOSURES - TO BE REVIEWED ON WED 6 AUGUST

Due to the continuing wind gusts above 40mph, we will need to keep the east of our site closed, so there will be no access through North Wood or the amphibian pond fox proof gates. We also have a tree that has come down in Wet Wood, so this will also remain closed for now. Our flamingos are to remain off-show. Thank you for your understanding.
