Access guidance
- Most of our buildings have wheelchair access, with the exception of the first floors of the historic buildings. There is a dedicated car parking area near to the entrance of the attraction. On special event days this area is extended.
- The land train and tractor can be adapted to accommodate wheelchairs.
- We have fully accessible toilets at four locations around the site: the Car Park, behind Sandling Farmhouse, the Tea Room Court Yard and the Village Hall.
- Your lovely pooches are very welcome as long as they are well behaved, on short leads and are cleaned up after. Unfortunately, they are not allowed in the catering areas (this includes the indoor play barn), Farmyard Friends or the Kent Owl Academy (as they may inadvertently upset the birds). Dogs are not permitted to our Experience Christmas event. Please note that we may not be able to admit dogs for some of our other special events. You are advised to call and check in advance of your visit to avoid disappointment – 01622 763936. Small bags are available in our Gift Shop and there are numerous bins located around the site for correct disposal.
- Visitors that are registered as disabled are entitled to bring a carer free of charge.
- There are interpretation books on the ground floor of each period home which give details about the upstairs of the buildings.
