We are usually open Tuesday to Sundays from 10am-4pm. But OPEN EVERY DAY OF THE EASTER HOLIDAYS INCLUDING MONDAYS.

We do occasionally change our opening hours or close for specific events and holidays, so please do check the website and our social media before you set off.

The Hatch is open serving refreshments, answering queries and taking payment for admission and woodland products from 10am to 4pm.

Admission for non-members for walks and picnics in the wood is £4 per person or £15 for a household, payable at The Hatch (card or cash) - these funds help us look after the wood and keep it open to the public. Members do not pay for admission to the wood. But if you bring guests, we ask you to make an additional donation.

Friendly dogs are welcome and can be off of the lead when outside the main ‘hub’. We do not have a poo bin.

We ask all visitors to look after the wood and each other by following our Code of Conduct.
