VISITOR NOTICES

Important weather update – Thursday 2 October

There is a yellow weather warning for high wind and rain this Saturday in Leeds due to Storm Amy. 

Visitor safety is always our main priority and due to vulnerable structures at Lotherton’s Pumpkin Patch we have taken the decision to delay the start of our Pumpkin Patch Trailer Tours event to Sunday 5 October. Currently, the wider estate remains open as usual throughout the weekend, but we will continue to monitor the weather, so please check our website and social media for updates if you plan to visit Lotherton over the weekend. Pumpkin Patch ticket holders will be contacted.

Aviaries

A small number of our aviaries are not currently accessible due to building works.

Wildlife World building works: Please note there maybe significant disruption to your visit to Wildlife World for three weeks from 15 September. This is due to repairs to the penguin aviary.
