Making your visit to Tapnell Farm Safe

1st January 2022

  • All bookings must be made online in advance
  • Face coverings/masks are no longer legally required, however, we support any customers or staff who still feel more comfortable wearing them in enclosed/high footfall areas.
  • There is a remote possibility that the Covid-19 virus may be present in the open water environment in which we operate, and within the operating areas of the park where customers are present. It is expected that any traces of the virus would be incredibly diluted in open water but a risk nevertheless remains in existence. Customers are expected to work with the Aqua Park to help reduce the risk of transmission where possible.

Archery & Axe Throwing

  • Led by experienced, trained staff ensuring quality distanced coaching
  • Face coverings/masks are no longer legally required, however, we support any customers or staff who still feel more comfortable wearing them in enclosed/high footfall area
  • Hand sanitising stations in place
  • Due to the nature of Archery and Axe throwing there is always an element of risk. Participants will be asked to leave if they show any dangerous behaviour on the range, pose a danger to themselves or others and are disruptive towards other participants. If you are suspected to have consumed alcohol or drugs, you will not be allowed on the session and no refund will be issued.
