Before heading to Diggerland, be sure to check our latest opening dates and plan your visit accordingly.
A Day Out Where Children Can Get Hands-on
Diggerland brings the excitement of a construction site to life with an impressive selection of rides and drives included in standard admission. With 20 main rides and drives to enjoy, there is plenty to keep budding construction enthusiasts entertained throughout the day.
For children who want to get behind the controls, the JCB Rides/Drives are a must. There are also Giant Diggers, Dumpers and Dirt Diggers, giving young visitors the chance to experience some of the machinery that makes Diggerland so unique. If driving is more their thing, Go-Karts, Mini Tractors and Mini Landrovers offer a different kind of adventure.
For little ones under five, Little Tikes Wheelz Play Zones are also available.
With so many ways to ride, drive, explore and get involved, Diggerland offers an experience unlike a traditional theme park. It’s easy to see why it makes such an exciting choice when searching for days out with kids during the summer holidays. For young digger fans especially, getting behind the controls of a JCB or taking a ride on a Giant Digger could be the highlight of their August Bank Holiday adventure.
Don’t Forget the Adults!
Who says Diggerland is just for children?
One of the best things about a family trip to Diggerland is that adults can get involved in the fun too. If you’re a parent who has always wanted to have a go on construction machinery, the August Bank Holiday could be your chance!
The construction-themed attractions are just as entertaining for grown-ups. Plus, there’s something satisfying about climbing aboard a machine and experiencing the controls for yourself. You might even find yourself having just as much fun as the children!
The bank holiday is an ideal opportunity for the whole family to enjoy the attractions together. Rather than spending the day watching from the side lines, parents can join in. Make memories and embrace their inner construction enthusiast.
Make the Most of the August Bank Holiday
With the summer holidays beginning to draw to a close, the August Bank Holiday provides a great excuse to plan one more big family adventure before the children head back to school. A trip to Diggerland can turn an ordinary bank holiday into a day packed with excitement.
Whether you’re travelling with little ones who love diggers and trucks or you’re simply looking for something new to try as a family, Diggerland offers an experience that’s certainly different from your average day out.
And with four locations across the UK, there’s a Diggerland adventure waiting for families in more than one part of the country.
