EXPLORE VISIT EVENTS Book Tickets Home Covid-19 Covid-19 Audley End Miniature Railway Covid-19 measures 19/07/2021 Our customers’ safety and enjoyment is at the heart of our planning. We have put the following measures in place to ensure the safety and enjoyment of our visitors and staff. We have constantly kept up to date with the latest information and react quickly when needed. Social Distancing Measures We have taken the decision to reduce our daily capacity to allow for social distancing on site. We have fun bubble posts to allow customers to adhere to the social distancing rules when disembarking the train. We would like to ask that our visitors please adhere to the social distancing measures we have put in place in line with government guidelines. Hygiene Measures We have invested in multiple hand sanitiser dispensers and outdoor wash basins around the site. We have a dedicated visitor service team who specifically focus on cleaning, spraying and wiping high contact areas regularly with D10 (antibacterial spray). We have also invested in a chemical that has been sprayed onto our play equipment, trains and carriages that kills bacteria and the virus on contact. The chemical lasts up to 28 days on the surface however we are respraying after every 10 days. All tickets will now be purchased online and shown to our admissions staff on arrival. We will also be cashless to reduce contact. Outdoor Woodland Café We have a new outdoor Woodland Café in the picnic area. All Woodland Café surfaces and equipment are regularly washed and wiped down. We have also designed and created a fun social distancing serving mechanism – a giant Lazy Susan! With the luxury of a spacious site we are easily able to socially distance our tables so that families can enjoy snacking in a safe and well maintained place. All staff working in the Woodland Cafe will also be wearing masks. Station Snacks We have recently introduced a new Station Snacks Cafe area. This area will available to you *before your train ride to purchase any drinks or snacks you may wish to take on the train with you. We will have a range of hot and cold drinks plus, crisps, biscuits and chocolate bars available. Additional food outlets are available after your train ride too. *Only available at weekends and not during the week. Retail Shop We have recreated our retail shop so you can still treat the children – or yourself! The retail shop has now been moved into our admissions area. You will be able to purchase retail items on arrival or departure but not during your visit. Staff working within the shop will also be wearing masks. Train Station There will be one spacious entrance where customers can easily social distance. The carriages also have perspex screens installed between pods to ensure there is protection for families from other customers.

The chemical lasts up to 28 days on the surface however we are respraying after every 10 days. Toilets We have increased our Toilet cleaning regime.
