BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND UPDATE

With the weather forecast looking a little unsettled over the Bank Holiday weekend, we will be moving as much of our activities and entertainment as possible into the marquee, located in the large barn. We are determined not to let the weather spoil the fun!

BBQ UPDATE
Due to the change in weather, we have lifted the bbq ban on the campsite, as conditions are no longer bone dry. However, all bbq's must be elevated off the ground and supervised at all times. The ban on bbq's in public places within the Peak Park still remains in place so please remember that this relaxation applies to Barn Farm Campsite only.
