Description

A trip to Diggerland is a great opportunity for three people to have a huge amount of fun together. Ride in and drive different types of construction machinery including dumper trucks, mini diggers and giant diggers in a theme park dedicated to these heavy duty machines – it certainly makes for a day out with a difference. There are qualified instructors on hand to ensure safety and show you how these diggers work. We defy you not to feel like a king of the road when you sit in the control seat!

Availability: The park is open at weekends and bank holidays from February to the end of October and seven days a week during local school holidays. It closes during November, December and January. Weather: Diggerland is predominantly an outdoor experience but, although rare, they may restrict some rides in the event of very poor weather. Duration: The park opens at 10am and guests are free to stay until 5pm (or 4pm in February). Numbers On Day: Spectators: Additional adults or children (over 90 cms) can pay on the day to enter Diggerland. The parks do not allow entry of dogs, with the exception of guide dogs. Why not take your own picnic? Dress Code: Please dress for comfort and wear suitable footwear such as trainers or wellies. There is a chance that you may get a little muddy, so bringing a change of footwear is a good idea.
