Wookey Hole Caves and Attractions
COVID – Visitor Information
The health and safety of our guests is paramount to our operation, we have put together the below guide to inform you what changes we have put in place to keep you and our team members safe during your visit to us.
-
- Tickets will need to be purchased online in advance, we cannot guarantee entry if you do not pre-book with us. We have introduced a time slot system, this allows us to spread visitors across the day, to limit the number of people on site at any one time. Your booked time slot refers to your arrival time and not the length of your visit.
- During this time we are not able to accept vouchers or complimentary tickets. We hope this will change in the near future. Tesco vouchers are currently being accepted online, during COVID19.
- All annual pass members will be required to book in advance online.
- We have introduced new temporary reduced admission rates during COVID19, this will be revised as Government advice changes on our attraction offering.
- Please be aware from the 24th July 2020 we will be asking all visitors to wear face masks/coverings when entering all indoor attractions – we understand that some visitors will be exempt from wearing a face mask/covering. Masks/coverings do not have to be worn in any of the catering/bar areas. If you require a face mask we are selling them on arrival or as you enter the gift shop on-site. Anyone under 11 years of age is exempt from this new guidance.
- We encourage you to check our website or social media pages, before setting off, for any updates on our opening times or tickets.
