In light of the recent government announcement we will be closed from Wednesday 4th November until Wednesday 2nd December 2020.
The safety, well-being and health of our visitors and staff is as always our top priority.
It is now more important than ever that you watch your children at all times please to ensure they are safely following all guidelines, our staff should not be responsible for ensuring your children are following procedures.
Please observe government guidelines; maintain distance, observe good hygiene, frequent hand-washing and be socially aware during your visit. By working together we can help ensure the safety of all those that visit and work at the park.
The owners and Hall Farm Park team will be available to chat to you about any concerns but please remember this will be a constantly evolving situation based on the latest advice.
Please do not visit if you or your children are feeling unwell, you have a temperature or have possibly been exposed to someone who has been diagnosed with Covid-19.

We advise using this method to ensure entry to the park as we are restricted on numbers allowed on site. Pay at the door is permitted but if we are up to capacity then entry will not be allowed. Season ticket holders will also need to book but obviously no payment needed. To assist with social distancing staggered entry times have been created; you may arrive after your stated entry time if needed but not before hand. Please note that children under the age of 2 will not require a ticket.

If you miss your play barn allocated time entry will not be permitted at any other session.
