Under the new Covid-19 safety arrangements the popular family destination will limit the number of guests per day, and all cable car tickets must be booked online in advance via the company’s website.

Rupert Pugh, devevelopment Director, said: “Our team have been working hard to ensure that the cable cars, cavern tours, exhibitions and playgrounds are ready for visitors to enjoy this summer. We’ve been amazed at the level of support and encouragement from the public during the last few months, and tickets have been selling fast since we went back online earlier this week”.

The 60-acre country park has had to introduce new safety features and social distancing protocols on the cable cars, in cavern tours and throughout the visitor complex. Rupert said: “We have installed over 20 hand sanitiser points and 18 new hand washing stations at key locations, introduced one way routes to help with social distancing, and rearranged our catering spaces to allow for plenty of space both inside and out. We have also increased the fresh air flow through our cable cars, giving you a real oxygen boost as you glide over the Derwent Valley”.
