Coronavirus Update:
We are delighted to announce we are OPEN to our Members and will be to our other visitors again as of the 17th May 2021. Advanced booking is essential for all members and the public.
With the recent changes announced by the Government, we are working to open as much of a Great Day Out at the Aldingbourne Country Centre as we can.
All ACC Attractions will be open apart from our Soft Play Area, Sand & Water Play Area and Indoor Slide. Our Open Farm will be running a one-way system, and unfortunately, our animal handling sessions have been put on hold for the foreseeable future.
Our Quarry Cafe will be running a reduced takeaway service only.
Thank you for your continued support and patience with us as we learn how to open more facilities and activities for you safely.
Our priority is to keep everyone safe, and we are maintaining the 2m distance rule throughout the site and face coverings are to be worn inside – this is for your safety and our staff and volunteers.
Do not visit us if anyone in your group is unwell. If you feel unwell or wish to cancel your booking, you may cancel up until 10 am on the day of your visit and receive a full refund.
