Yes, Diggerland has considered the threat of terrorism. Risk assessments have been carried out. Diggerland would class the attraction as a ‘low risk’, with the likelihood of a terrorist attack being very small, however for the security of our staff and customers, procedures have been put in place. Diggerland’s terms and conditions have been updated, which states: ‘For security purposes, Diggerland reserves the right to search any coats, bags, rucksack and similar items of its patrons wishing to or having entered Diggerland.  In the even that a patron refuses to have his/her bag, rucksack, coat etc. searched then Diggerland reserves the right  to prohibit entry into Diggerland and any payment already made in respect of the entry shall be forfeited.’ Further information regarding Diggerland’s terms and conditions can be found here – https://www.diggerland.com/terms/

Unfortunately the planned Diggerland at The Valley at Evesham has been delayed due to circumstances outside of our control.

We want all visitors to have fun and to be safe. Diggerland undertakes a full Health & Safety audit annually, in addition to regular audits carried out by Health & Safety consultants.

Diggerland is a family attraction and we ask that you wear appropriate clothing whilst in the theme park. Any guest deemed by the Park Manager to be wearing inappropriate clothing may be asked to change clothes or to leave Diggerland.

Most activities involve riding or driving real construction machinery, and we would strongly advise against wearing flip-flops or similar footwear as they do not afford much protection to your feet. Customers should be aware that access will be denied to certain machinery if appropriate closed in footwear is not worn. Suitable footwear includes closed in footwear such as trainers, flat shoes, flat boots or wellies. High heels must not be worn on any machinery.

Virtually all activities take place outdoors.

In wet weather there is a chance that you may get a little muddy, so bringing a change of footwear for the journey home is a good idea.

Diggerland is predominantly an outdoor attraction with all the digger rides and drives situated out in the open air. Some rides and attractions may close in the event of high winds, thunder or lightning, if the Park Manager decides that such action is required.

In the event of rain we do have some indoor entertainments such as computer digger games and also indoor play areas for younger children, which are included in the entry price. Umbrellas and rain wear may be purchased from the Goodie Store.

Diggerland regrets that refunds will not be issued due to inclement weather. If you come prepared for the weather you will still have a great day!

If you wish to leave Diggerland and return the same day, at no extra charge, please have your hand stamped in the Goodie Store.

Failure to obtain a hand stamp will result in you not being re-admitted.

Production of a ticket will not be proof of re-entry. Refunds or exchanges are not possible in the event of poor weather or attraction closure.

Diggerland is a venue for families and young children. We have set up a designated smoking area at each park, AWAY from the rides and drives. This is the ONLY area in Diggerland where smoking is allowed.

Smoking is NOT allowed in any other outdoor spaces, or whilst queuing for rides and drives, or in the restaurant or shops.  Cigarettes are not sold on-site.

Please ask a member of staff where the designated smoking areas are located. Diggerland reserves the right to remove anyone from the queue for rides/drives who is smoking.

Our 4 locations each have a cafe, which provides a great selection of hot and cold refreshments.

You may bring a picnic to Diggerland, which can be eaten in an allocated restricted area. All our locations have picnic benches in the grounds but none of them have any covered areas where you can eat a picnic. Visitors may not take their own meals into the restaurant areas to eat.

For safety reasons, we ask visitors not to bring glass bottles into Diggerland.

Diggerland does not allow entry of dogs to our sites, with the exception of Guide Dogs and Assistance Dogs. This is for the safety of other visitors, as well as your pet. We also ask that you do not leave your dog in your vehicle, as the Diggerland car parks are not shaded and dogs can very quickly become distressed.

Diggerland provides free-to-use charging points for its patrons with electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids. Those who are not visiting Diggerland can plug in and charge for a flat fee of £5, for a time period up to two hours. To find out more information, visit our blog post here.
