COVID-19 OPENING ARRANGEMENTS
At the start of 2020, we could not have imagined keeping our doors shut to visitors for such a large part of the year. Sadly, as we launched into 2021, it seemed that nothing had changed significantly, but at long last we can look positively to the future ...
We have greatly appreciated your patience and understanding over the past twelve months, whilst we have worked through the latest Government legislation and guidance in order to keep our visitors and staff safe. We endeavour to keep the website as up-to-date as possible to reflect any changes, so we kindly ask you to READ ALL OF OUR OPENING INFORMATION CAREFULLY PRIOR TO VISITING to avoid any disappointment. Thank you.
