This includes limiting site capacity, enhanced cleaning regimes, various social distancing measures, and careful management of the toilet and shower facilities in accordance with latest guidelines.

All of these will be explained to you when you place your booking.
To place a booking, please email us at fernycrofts@fernycrofts.org.uk providing us with details of what you would like to book.
