Desborough's West Lodge Farm Park opening after lockdown closure

West Lodge Farm Park is re-opening after having been granted permission from the authorities.

The popular family destination near Desborough will be opening its doors to members only between Monday, June 1 and Friday, June 5.

The general public will be able to visit the farm from Saturday, June 6 onwards.

The Dee Family, who run the farm, said: "Lockdown has been a tough time for everyone.

"We want to thank you all for your continual kind words of support since we closed.

"It has really helped us stay positive and motivated.

"We can't wait to welcome you back to our farm."

Only members will be able to visit the farm for the first five days as the number of visitors will be greatly reduced.

The farm said: "We are a 500 acre site with miles of walks and nature trails giving you plenty of space to practise good social distancing wherever you are on site.

"This is a phased reopening and not all of the areas are open yet.

"Visitor numbers are greatly reduced and people must book online before coming."

All visitors will need to book online as the farm is managing the number of visitors at any one time to ensure the safety of everyone.

To reflect the fact that not all areas of the farm are open ticket prices will be temporarily reduced to give families a good value day out.

West Lodge Farm Park said: "We want everyone to have a fun, safe time with us when visiting. There is a lot of information that you need to know before coming to the farm."

There is a health and safety flyer available on the farm's website with more information and visitors are urged to read it.

Joining West Lodge Farm Park is Mini Meadows Children's Farm in Welford, Northampton, which is also opening soon.
