wpengine Thank you all for your questions about reopening. First, we would like to say another heartfelt thank you for all the support and donations that have kept us going since March, and to say that we’re very grateful that we’re in a position to look forward to welcoming back visitors.
On June 1st government advice was that farm attractions would not reopen before July 4th, and the industry was told that date would not be reviewed before June 18th. So the announcement this week about the possibility of reopening on June 15th took us, and many other venues like us, by surprise. When we reopen, we will have to limit the number of visitors, use timed admission slots, and put in measures to keep visitors and our staff safe. We will need signs, barriers, enhanced cleaning routines, PPE supplies, and new risk assessments for many activities. We had been working towards a July 4th opening, and are now accelerating our plans and preparations so we can open earlier. When we are confident that we have a date to reopen safely, we will announce it on our website and on our social media, along with full details of booking arrangements, and an explanation of what to expect when you visit.
Thank you again for all your interest and support, and we ask that you keep an eye out for further announcements.
