Dear Friends of Odds Farm Park,

Following the confirmation this week that there will be no changes to the Government COVID guidelines before Christmas, we are delighted to welcome you to enjoy some post-Boxing Day fun here at Odds Farm Park!

Should the situation change and further Government restrictions come into place, we will of course notify all guests via email and our social media channels, however in the meantime please see below some important information on how we will be operating after the festive season:

Operating Hours

*Odds Farm Park will close early at 3:30pm on 31st December.

Please be aware that Odds Farm Park will also be closed on Thursday 6th January. This is to enable us to de-rig all our seasonal staging and outside Christmas displays safely, and transform the Farm Park back to its more familiar setup from 7th January.

Hygiene & Cleaning

We will continue to provide the numerous hand sanitising stations, alongside the necessary hand washing facilities throughout the Farm Park also, alongside our enhanced cleaning procedures.

Seasonal Activities

In light of recent changes regarding Coronavirus numbers, we have taken the decision to not operate our ‘12 Days After Christmas’ performances as planned. Guests will however still be able to enjoy plenty of festive fun, including our Winter Explorer Trail, takeaway Seasonal Crafts and our Tree by Twinklelight displays taking place on the Farm.*

* Available until 5th January 2021.

Face Coverings

Guests will be required to wear a face covering (unless otherwise exempt) when entering the Undercover Animal Barn, when entering and exiting the Farm Park, and any other point that requires them to enter an indoor space during their visit.

We ask that you take responsibility and the necessary actions, in accordance with the government Restrictions, when deciding if you and your family are able to visit.

Rest assured we will continue to take the appropriate steps and work within the evolving Government guidelines, and will continue to communicate with you all through our website, across all our social media channels and mailings too.

We wish you all a very healthy and happy Christmas with your loved ones and we all look forward to welcoming you at Odds Farm Park very soon.

Halloween Half Term Fun!

Enjoy a frightfully fun day out with all the family this Halloween, 23rd-31st October with additional pumpkin picking weekends throughout October.

A safe ‘Freedom Day’ at Odds Farm Park

With the lifting of Government restrictions, here at Odds Farm Park we want to ensure that all our guests and staff alike, continue to have the best day out, in the safest way possible.

Over the last 18 months our guests have expressed to us, how enjoyable their experience has been and how it has been further enhanced, through the creation of even wider open spaces, the introduction of a timed admission entry system into the farm park and the controlled capacities in particular areas, all of which have added to improved guest experiences and great positive feedback.

Freedom Day brings a set of new and exciting, yet challenging changes again, with the creation of our next ‘new’ normal into the Summer.

We recognise that this will be interpreted in different ways, by all our guests visiting the farm park and so for now and with effect from Monday 19th July, we will be operating in the following way:

Admissions & Tickets:

We will continue with all guests and members requiring to book online and in advance, ensuring that there are less queues and that our farm park capacity can provide a safe space for all our guests to enjoy throughout their visit.

Face Coverings:

Whilst face coverings are no longer required by law, we will continue to encourage these to be worn in enclosed and busier spaces, in particular, face coverings will continue to be required in the Play Barn, by all our guests and our staff too, in line with government recommendations, unless exempt.

Tea Room & Food Offer

We will be re-opening an initially reduced ‘counter service’ food offer in our Tea Room, alongside our popular Food App, which will continue for food collection and take-away options too. Contactless, takeaway points remain in the Coffee Bar and at the Airstream too!

Hygiene & Cleaning

We will continue to provide the numerous hand sanitising stations, alongside the necessary hand washing facilities throughout the farm park also, along with enhanced cleaning procedures.

As always, we will review these changes and the evolving situation throughout the Summer, and take on board all our guest and staff feedback.

We look forward to seeing you very soon!

Stay Safe,

The Odds Farm Park Team
