- Arrive early or later in the day if driving, as the car park can reach capacity, particularly after periods of bad weather.
- Check the 'What's On Today' schedule upon arrival for specific timings of shows and activities, as some are weather-dependent.
- Consider bringing wellington boots if the weather is iffy, as the site is a working farm and can get muddy.
