Go Ape is an excellent wet weather activity. Our courses are substantially sheltered from rain and wind by the trees themselves so as long as you’re appropriately dressed for the weather you should still have great memories of your experience. The course remains open in all weathers, except thick ice, thunderstorms and gales. Rain makes the course muddier than usual – which can add to the fun, but you might want dry clothes to change into for the journey home.
If we have to close for unsafe weather conditions, we will offer you a refund, credit note or reschedule your booking. If unsafe weather is forecasted we will aim to make the decision as early as possible, and will do our best to contact you to try and save you a wasted journey.
At Go Ape, we welcome everyone. However, whilst our courses are designed to be accessible to most people, they do offer a degree of physical and mental challenge.
For some, this may mean that additional equipment, adjustments to our training, and/or levels of supervision will be required for safe participation. For others, the risks of injury may still be too great despite taking such additional measures, preventing their use of the course.
Please read the additional information available on our accessibility page and call our booking team to discuss requirements before booking your adventure so we can ensure you will be safe and have the best experience possible. It may be useful to book a quieter time of the day to ensure you are not put under unnecessary pressure by other participants on the day. We can help with all this.

Excellent activity but we were not made aware that only 2 benches would be available in the seating area so for 57 children who had brought lots of seated activities for their waiting time this was unhelpful.

Educational value is excellent. The venue is very suitable for the activities. Excellent value for money.

We were on the Tree top adventure which was suitable for year 7 and 8, however the year 9/10 students never found this challenging. I have spoken to Go Ape and said that were not told prior to going that this is the course we would be completing.

2 staff and 4 pupils went to Go Ape, we initially walked around the park, went into the maze, the children played in the playground. There was a mix up with our booking and we had to wait longer than expected, the pupils were so patient and understanding. The course itself provided many challenges, pupils were able to listen sensibly to all safety instructions, pupils assisted each other in learning how to use the harness correctly, pupils read safety instructions together and helped each other with the more complicated words. The course itself was definitely a challenge, one particular pupil found it very difficult and there was a huge amount of support and encouragement from his peers , it was very touching. Everyone on the trip, staff included overcame their own personal challenges and were able to work successfully as a team. All in all it was an absolutely brilliant day, well done to all involved.
