What you need to know when booking your visit following the easing of restrictions.

We understand our visitors have differing concerns regarding Covid-19, therefore we ask visitors to be mindful of others by keeping a safe distance from each other and to regularly wash and sanitise their hands.

How do we book?

Click here to book tickets for general admission, members, rainy day return passes and carers.

Once booked tickets cannot be refunded but dates can be transferred subject to giving 48 hours notice after this period an admin/ transfer fee will be charged.

When can we visit and how long can we stay?

As a small centre, the health and safety of our visitors, staff and animals is paramount. As space and car parking facilities are limited, to ensure our visitors have a safe and pleasant experience we will continue to operate at a reduced capacity and require all visitors to book in advance online. During our quieter winter months we are no longer operating our 3 hour stay policy, tickets will be valid from your chosen time slot until the park closes.

Can we use a promotional voucher?

Please email info@butterflyhouse.co.uk with details of your voucher.

Membership and Gift Vouchers

A limited number of tickets will be made available for our members each day. The percentage of tickets will be based on our average number of member visits recorded during the same pre-covid period. Members must still book online to allow us to maintain our maximum number of visitors per day.

If you have a great time when visiting why not take out a membership during your visit and we will refund the cost of your admission. This can only be done on the day of your visit.

26.  OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS 

26.1 This Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, whether under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties Act) 1999 or otherwise. However, the recipient of your gift of a Product will have the benefit of our warranties at paragraph 17 but we and you will not need their consent to cancel or make any changes to these T&Cs.

26.2 Each of the paragraphs of these T&Cs operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.

26.3 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under these T&Cs, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations. If we do waive a default by you, we will only do so in writing, and that will not mean that we will automatically waive any later default by you.

26.4 Please note that these T&Cs are governed by English law. This means a Contract for the purchase of Products through our site and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it will be governed by English law. You agree that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction.
