Coronavirus (COVID-19) May Update

Latest news on the coronavirus situation

Thank you for your ongoing support during the coronavirus situation

Following the Prime Minister’s announcement on Sunday, and close co-odination with Forestry England, we will be opening our car park today (Thursday May 14th 2020).

Please be aware, all other facilities (the cafe, toilets, barn, playground and discovery den) will remain closed until further notice. Please do not attempt to use the play areas, these will be taped off. Sadly, the hollow logs have been removed during this period due to safety concerns.

Please follow the government and NHS guidance on staying safe outside your home, and maintain social distancing in the car park and grounds. We know many people will be keen to get out, so to avoid crowds, please be aware you may need to be prepared to turn around if the car park looks busy or full, and come another time. 

The car park will be free until we are able to open the other facilities, but, if you would like to make a donation to help support our work during this difficult time, please go to the Thames Chase Trust Just Giving page www.justgiving.com/thames-chase-trust

We hope you will enjoy the space and fresh air with a safe, relaxing visit.
