SUMMARY:Hobbledown Farm family day out (Hounslow)
DESCRIPTION:A day at Hobbledown farm Hounslow – for you and your family to enjoy together this spring!\nThe day is yours to spend how you wish! Meet up with other families to share your experience or make memories on your own; it’s up to you. We have a yurt reserved between 11am-2pm for a break or lunch. A member of staff will be here during these times if you require any assistance. Bring your own lunch\, or there is food that you can purchase onsite. \nShooting Star staff will be on site from 10am until 3.30pm in branded uniform. During 11am and 2pm there will be a member of staff in the yurt at all times. \nTickets are for immediate family members only. Children under 18 must be with an adult. \nPlease book a ticket for each immediate family member known to SSCH who will be with you. We may not be able to supply your desired number of tickets if you do not book the correct number of tickets on Eventbrite. \nYour Eventbrite confirmation email is NOT your ticket. A member of the team will confirm that you have been successful in your request once we have seen your request. \nCarers do not need to request a ticket; they can enter for free. Please let us know how many carer tickets you require. \nPlease check the website for individual accessibility requirements: Hobbledown Accessibility Statement. The site is flat\, but has no smooth pathways. \nWe hope you have an amazing day! \nPlease note we expect demand to be high for these tickets\, and will endeavour to obtain more in the event that they sell out.
