Failure to comply may result in a visitor’s removal from the park. You are deemed to accept these terms and conditions in their entirety by either entering the Park or purchasing a ticket.

These are all operated by the legal trading entity, Stockeld Farms Ltd. In these terms and conditions, any reference to one of the above or ‘the Park’ shall be deemed to also refer to all of the above unless otherwise stated.

2. General
- Stockeld Farms Ltd accepts no liability for any loss or damage to individuals, vehicles or personal property, however arising, including (but not solely) any injury, distress, inconvenience or anxiety caused. The Ticket Holder assumes all risk and danger incidental to an Activity, Adventure Zone or Event, including any death, personal injury, loss, damage or liability. Where the Ticket Holder is a Minor, all risk and danger is assumed by their Responsible Adult.
- Stockeld Park will endeavour to ensure that as many advertised Adventure Zones, activities and events are open. Management reserve the right to close, cancel or alter the opening times or event programme due to inclement weather, technical reasons, where visitor capacity is reached, restrictions imposed by a third party or any other reasons without refund. Should Stockeld Park be unable to offer any usual attractions, management will endeavour to ensure the website is updated with all changes and closures. In circumstances where a change or closure is made at short notice, no refund shall be due whether or not the website is updated.
- Guests are expected to adhere to any government regulations and guidance in respect of restrictions in the area they live as well as Stockeld Park. For the avoidance of doubt, Stockeld Park is within the North Yorkshire County Council area so would be subject to restrictions imposed nationally or for that particular area. Where it is apparent that guests have not adhered to regulations or guidance, Stockeld Park reserves the right to refuse admission or remove guests from the park without refund.
- Stockeld Park is not open every day. Opening dates and times are at the discretion of the Management and no guest has the right to entry at any other time.
- Not all Adventure Zones are necessarily open all day every day.
- Stockeld Park reserves the right to refuse admission or remove from the Park (without refund) any Guest who:
- Behaves in a manner which, in the opinion of Management, is likely to endanger or affect the enjoyment of other visitors;
- Uses lewd, threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour to other Guests, Management or Team;
- Does not follow written or verbal instructions;
- Behaves in a manner which may affect the health and safety of themselves, other Guests or Stockeld Team. Where the said Guest(s) is / are part of a larger group, the whole group may be refused admission or removed from the Park (without refund).
- Tickets or membership will automatically be deemed void and shall be revoked without a refund and/or compensation if Stockeld Park reasonably believes the holder to be a convicted child sex offender or subject to the notification requirements of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, or subject to the Sexual Risk Order, Child Abduction Notice, or any other restrictions or requirements that protects the safety and welfare of children, or which Stockeld Park reasonably judges could give rise to a breach of its commitment to the safeguarding of children. For the avoidance of doubt, no refund will be given in any such circumstances.
- All activities and Adventure Zones must be used in accordance with written and verbal instructions. Guests must remain on designated footpaths and in designated areas at all times. Climbing or standing on fences, barriers, walls, sculptures, buildings or bins is strictly prohibited and will be grounds for removal. Similarly the throwing of objects, especially at sculptures or into the lake is not allowed and will be grounds for removal.
- A fixed timeslot ticket for the Playhive is valid for 90 minutes from the time of entry to the play area. We cannot extend this period due to late arrival or any other unforeseen circumstances. We also cannot allow early entry. Children must be supervised (and in sight) at all times. All Minors require supervision by a responsible adult who has purchased a valid ticket and will not be allowed entry alone. Should a child be unable to access, climb or use a piece of equipment by themselves, we do not recommend anyone helping them and do not accept responsibility for any injury caused. No shoes or bare feet are allowed in the Playhive – all guests must wear socks or Playhive slippers (these can be purchased at the Playhive entrance). All signage relating to safe play on and usage of the equipment must be adhered to at all times. Stockeld Park does not accept any responsibility for the behaviour of other guests. We reserve the right to refuse admission or eject any guest and others in the party should the rules and guidelines not be adhered to.
- There are lockers available in the Playhive and, at times, other areas of the park. These are used entirely at the Guest’s risk. Stockeld Park accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to possessions left in lockers.
- Any Guest found to be damaging property, contents or grounds of Stockeld Park will be responsible for the cost of repairing that damage. Should the Guest be a Minor and unable to fully compensate, the responsible adult with the Guest will be responsible for the cost.
- Any person found engaged in criminal activity will be removed from the Park and reported to the Police. For the avoidance of doubt this includes criminal damage, possession of illegal drugs or possession of an offensive weapon. Guests agree to allow themselves and their vehicles to be searched by Management or The Stockeld Team if requested.

- Failure to give 24 hours notice will result in your membership being frozen for a period of 2 weeks where you’ll be unable to book or visit the park.
5. Supervision
- All Minors (paying and non-paying) under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult aged 18 or over at all times. We recommend that one adult should be responsible for a maximum of 5 Minors. The responsible adult must supervise those Minors in all adventure zones and activities at all times. Supervision ratios are entirely the decision of the responsible adult(s), and must be reduced below the recommended maximum if the responsible adult(s) believe it to be necessary. This is not only for the safe-keeping of the park, but also in case of a medical emergency.
- Stockeld Park accepts no responsibility for the supervision of Minors – this is the sole responsibility of the accompanying responsible adult(s). If Management deem the supervision to be insufficient or not in accordance with the Park’s guidelines, we reserve the right to escort the entire group from the Park.
- It is solely the decision of the responsible adult to decide whether an Adventure Zone, or any piece of equipment within a Zone, is suitable for an individual child. Stockeld Park accepts no responsibility for that decision. Supervision guidelines may change at short notice. Stockeld Park is suitable for all ages. However, some attractions within the Park have specific guidelines. Currently they are as follows:
- Skating – All skaters under 8 years must be accompanied on the rink at all times by a skating parent / guardian (18 years or over). Children aged 8 to 16 should be accompanied at the side of the rink by a parent / guardian (18 years or over). Please note helmets and protective pads are available. It is at the absolute discretion of the responsible adult to choose whether they are used.
- Playhive – we believe play should be self-determined. Children must be supervised (and in sight) at all times. Should a child be unable to climb, access or use a piece of equipment, we do not recommend assisting them and accept no responsibility for any injury caused.
- Buccaneer Boats – suitable for heights of 102cm and over. 102cm – 112cm must be accompanied on the boat by a responsible adult, 112cm and above are able to ride solo.
- Go Karts – minimum age 5 years
- Tractor Zone – minimum age 2, maximum age 5. The ages are shown on signage; it is the responsibility of the responsible adults to adhere to the age restrictions and also ensure the equipment is kept within the are of the Tractor Zone.
- Maze – suitable for all ages. All minors must be accompanied into the Maze by an adult.
- Enchanted Forest – suitable for all ages. All minors must be accompanied into the Enchanted Forest by an adult.
- Adventure Play Zones – we try not to limit age ranges as we feel that play is spontaneous and should be self-determined based on the individual child’s ability. Minors should be kept in view at all times.
- Whilst we try to ensure go karts and inflatables are supervised by a member of our Team, we are not responsible for the behaviour of guests on these or any other of our Activities and Zones.
- Shop, Playhive Pizzeria café and picnic areas – all minors must be accompanied at all times. Any damage caused by a Minor will be charged to the parent / guardian.
- In the case of a medical emergency for an unaccompanied minor, we reserve the right to treat the minor in the absence of a responsible adult.
6. Parties
- Parties require a minimum deposit amount equivalent to 10 children which is payable online to secure your booking.
- Parties must be fully paid for at least 48 hours before the party date, unless by prior arrangement.
- The minimum number of participants is 10, and the maximum is 20 for Skate and Playhive and Adventure Parties and 26 for Laser. If you require any more than the maximum, please contact Stockeld Park direct before booking on customersupport@stockeldpark.co.uk
- We understand that it is not always easy to be certain of party numbers when booking. We recommend you book for the minimum number you expect to attend. Confirmation of final numbers must be made by email to party@stockeldpark.co.uk at least 48 hours before the day of the party. If the number changes from the original booking by more than 10, we cannot guarantee to be able to accommodate or provide food for all participants, although we will endeavour to do so.
- Supervision guidelines and ratios must be adhered to at all times.
- For Playhive Adventure Parties, we allow up to 1 free adult for each child booked and an additional adult for the party child. All other adults who need or wish to participate will be charged. We cannot guarantee seating within the party eating area for more than 6 adults. The party eating area will be available to a party for 1 hour, starting 15 minutes prior to the children eating. Any decorations must be agreed in advance and cannot be attached to any part of the party area. Only weighted balloons are permitted. Additional adults or siblings will be charged at the normal entry price and must be booked in advance.
- All laser party bookings are taken subject to ground and weather conditions. Should the conditions result in play not being possible, we reserve the right to transfer any booking to a Playhive Adventure Party instead.
- The food offering for all parties is a selection of pizza and juice to drink. Carrot and cucumber sticks will be available to Playhive Adventure parties. We do not allow any other food to be brought in due to Natasha’s Law. We will only consider allowing food to be brought in where that food is for a named individual with a dietary requirement, and where a responsible adult is there for that individual to ensure the food is not shared with others.
- Shop-bought birthday cakes, unopened and in their original packaging, will be allowed providing there is a full list of ingredients and allergens on the box. Unfortunately, due to Natasha’s Law, we are unable to allow home-made cakes or cakes which do not have an official list of allergens and ingredients. You are not allowed to bring your own knife, and the birthday cake must be cut by Stockeld Park team in a designated area away from the children. If you wish for the children to eat the cake at the party, you must ensure you have full details of all childrens’ dietary requirements. The cake slices will be handed to the party child’s parent, who will be wholly responsible for giving the cake slices to the children and entirely at your own risk. Candles are allowed but unfortunately our fire systems are too sensitive to allow any sparklers, indoor fireworks or other pyrotechnics.
- In the event of cancellation (or a reduction in the number of party children) 28 days or more before the party date, 100% of the associated transaction value will be transferred onto a voucher to be used within 12 months. Cancellation (or a reduction in the number of party children) between 8 and 27 days before the party will be charged at 50% of the associated transaction value, with the balance being transferred to a voucher to be used within 12 months. There will be no refund or voucher issued for any party cancellation (or reduction in the number of party children) within 7 days of the party date.
- Parties are only available on certain dates and at certain times. We reserve the right to change these at any time.
- We do not offer party packages without food, nor do we allow party hosts or guests to bring their own food to eat in our eating or picnic areas due to Natasha’s Law. The same rules apply for birthday cakes as in clause 9 above.
7. Schools & Organised Group Bookings
- Schools and organised groups must be pre-booked at least 7 days in advance. The booking form must be completed and a (non-refundable) deposit equivalent to 15 paying guests paid at the time of booking. The balance due must be paid in advance at least 48 hours before your visit. Organised groups which have not paid by the time of the visit will not be allowed entry, unless by prior written agreement with Management.
- An organised group is any group which has a connection with a charity, business or other recognised organisation. Large family groups are not organised groups.
- The minimum number of paying visitors for a schools or organised group booking is 15 to qualify for the discounted group prices. If final numbers are below 15, the group will no longer qualify for the discounted group prices or free supervisor tickets and our standard tariffs will apply.
- Supervision guidelines and ratios must be adhered to (see clause 5).
- We allow 1 free supervisor aged 18 or over for every 5 tickets pre-booked. If members of the group require additional assistance, please contact us on customersupport@stockeldpark.co.uk.
- Where a group includes children under the age of 2 who are therefore free, entitlement to group rates and free adult supervisors will only be based on those members of the group who require paid tickets. Adult supervisors for children under the age of 2 must be paid for at the group rate.
- Any requests for seating in the cafes must be clearly stated at the time of booking. Whilst we always try to satisfy these, Stockeld Park cannot guarantee to satisfy all such requests, or that all members of a group will be seated together.
- School/Group bookings are only accepted during busy periods at the discretion of the Management team.
- Should a school / group booking be cancelled within 14 days of the visit date, we reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee equivalent to the deposit
