I didn’t bother with the bowling as at £48 odd for an hour, and just the two of us, it seemed a bit steep. Also with the government saying bowling can’t open, not sure how they will run it?

Only thing we didn’t get booked was the quad bikes, but I’m guessing that may be because of the helmets and not being able to sanitise them properly after each use 🤷

Have a fabulous time when it comes.

We have booked bowling, but went for the 45 minute session which was £34. Steep, I know, but hey when you’re on holiday... it’s also worth saying there was only one family above to book per session

I am expecting they may need to cancel given government announcements about bowling, I wonder if they’re allowing it to be booked as the advice may yet change again! Have a good time

I might just get her to wear it lol! I can't imagine them telling an elderly lady to strip off!

We don't go until the 7th Sept so can't book yet? At least I hope not? dh booked it so must remind him to keep checking! He's not as on the ball as me!

I didn't go into the sports cafe / bars but my husband said he could see people just in there having a drink so i'm sure you can just go in. The capacity must be managed in some way but we didn't find anything we couldn't just walk into except for the prebookable restaurants / activities / pool. We went to starbucks for lunch - we didnt book this but someone is on the door letting you know when to go in and reminding you to stand on the queue markers. Didn't wait long at all and this was at 12:30. I think they've balanced capacity really well.
I was half expecting long queues for everything but it really wasn't the case.

That's what i was thinking I'm sure they wouldn't say anything to her. Although there were rules the staff were so friendly about everything. No I dont think you can book yet. I bet things will have eased further by september x

Catlady- We just booked our activities for week of 31st August. Bookings opened yesterday so you will probably be able to book on Monday fir 7th Sept. Keep checking for an email.
I've made some changes today and as far as I could tell everything was still available so not everything is disappearing overnight!

Thank you I just made dh check and it is Monday we can book! Glad I'm on this thread as I thought it was two weeks before! Any idea what time it opens? Gosh it will be like fast pass time!

We go to Sherwood on Friday. I like the idea of booking the pool and it being a little less busy. I also like the idea of having a changing room allocated instead of the usual drama to find one available! We never spend longer than 2 x 2 hour sessions in the pool anyway so that suits us. We also usually work on a Friday and head over as it’s only just over an hours drive so late check in also not a problem. We do not hang around on last day either as prefer to get home so none of the changes really affect the way we would usually holiday there save for the masks of course. I’m just looking forward to getting away. We have booked a few restaurants and I am a little apprehensive but comforted by the feedback on here so far.

You'll have a great time we love Sherwood - we went to elveden but i'm sure Sherwood will be similar. So glad we went and didn't postpone

Not sure. My DH didn't tell me till he came in from work that he had an email at that was 10pm on Monday. I logged straight on and got everything we wanted including the Pancake house which is notoriously busy! Been on again today and moved a few things about. Not had any issues on availability. That's for Whinfell.

You have to book a table and eat No just drinking that is at Longleat anyway when we were there on last weekend in July.

So impressed with Sherwood this weekend. Social distancing in the restaurants was fab - we had booked both meals and paid on the app. Also used the Aqua Sana and very reassured by the temp checks, masks, visors and washing hands. Only booked a week before and managed to get the swim slots and lots of activities including laser combat and segway - our favourites. Pool was great - really well organised. Whole park felt very clean and we felt very safe there - just wish I had booked for longer!
