Information on Kew Little Pigs re-opening June - July 2020
To all of our piggy fans
We would like to thank you all so much for all of your continued support and patience during this very difficult time. The support we have received on our Go Feed Me campaign has been truly amazing and heart-warming for us all – the pigs have been very well looked after with your contributions, which was a huge relief to us all.
For several weeks we have been working hard and preparing the farm for re-opening, following Government guidance at all times.
The safety of our staff, volunteers, and visitors remains our priority.
In order to maintain social distancing, we are limiting our number of visits at any one time and on-site guidance on social distancing and hygiene will be explained to visitors on arrival.
Using the advice from HSE we have newly adapted Covid-19 risk assessments to reduce workplace risk to the lowest reasonable level.
If you are waiting to be rebooked and are on our waiting list: We are looking to rebook you in as soon as possible and shall be doing this by staggering invitations. This is arranged by the date of the booking, type of Booking, AND the date the customer was in contact regarding their visit.
We do ask that you please do not ring/ email in as we will be extremely busy and there is a process we are going through to ensure we see everyone as soon and as safely as possible.
You will receive an email from rebook@kewlittlepigs.com when you are invited to rebook.
Booking times will be dependent on the experience.
