Coronavirus (COVID-19) FAQs

LATEST UPDATE – 15.05.21

As per the national easing of lockdown measures, as of 17th May 2021 we are allowed to reopen our doors. The rules as of the 17th May allow for groups of up to 6 people or two households to meet indoors.

You will still be required to stay in your group and remain socially distant from other groups in the park and wear a face covering when moving around park (you can remove your mask to jump on the attractions or when sitting in the cafe area and eating or drinking).

Below we’ve also detailed how we’ve limited capacity, are following social distancing guidelines and keeping Freedome Covid-19 Secure:

BOOKINGS AND PAYMENTS

• > Prebooking of tickets is required for all customers (members included) to help limit your contact with staff on checking in and also as we have reduced capacity. Bookings are limited to a max of 6.
• > Guests attending Freedome must NOT be in a group of more than 6 or arrange to meet up with people making your group more than 6.
• > All customers aged 16 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult (over 18) at all times. This adult doesn’t need a ticket but must remain in park to supervise their group.
• > Waivers – all customers will be required to fill in a new waiver form on reopening. You will be required to fill this in before you come into park as our touch screen waiver stations will be closed until further notice. If you get to park and you haven’t filled one in, you can do it there and then on your phone, but we advise having it done before attending to reduce time in queues.
• > Contactless card payments are strongly prefered, but we will still be accepting cash payments if contactless is not an option for you.

CAPACITY

• > To ensure social distancing is simple for our guests, we have reduced our capacity by 50% meaning there is a lower than normal amount of guests that are able to be up on the trampoline/dodgeball and warrior course area at any one time.
• > We also advise a maximum of 1 parent per child attend our sessions. (Reminder that all customers aged 16 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult (over 18) at all times. This adult doesn’t need a ticket but must remain in park to supervise their group.)

TEMPERATURE CHECKS

• > To be safely allowed entry, employees and guests are asked to participate in a temperature check using a non-touch thermometer. This will be done upon check in to Freedome.

• > Anyone who is displaying a temperature above 37.8 degrees Celsius will unfortunately not be allowed to enter.

SOCIAL DISTANCING MEASURES

• > All guests who are not part of the same household will need to remain 2 meters apart and there are adequate floor markings and queue barriers to help keep this in place.
• > Hygiene screens have been installed in front of our reception desks and across the cafe counter. We’ve also put hand sanitiser stations at a number of key areas around the park, including check in, toilets, cafe area, entrance to the courts and at the beginning of the warrior course.
• > Our cleaning & hygiene measures are already of a high standard and we have allocated more resource to this, ensuring extra cleaning and disinfecting of all high traffic areas, repeatedly through the day.

FACE COVERINGS

• Updated on 14.08.2020 – Since the government has made face coverings mandatory in a number of indoor environments, and to continue doing what we believe is best for all our guests, we have updated our face coverings policy…

• > Please wear a face covering when queuing or moving around the park (guests under 11 do not need to wear one if they don’t want to).
• > Face coverings are only not required when jumping or eating & drinking.

TEST AND TRACE

• > As a business we already collect the names and contact details of all customers on booking, meaning we are in a good place already if there is at any point a confirmed Covid-19 case at Freedome and we need to contact customers who may have come in contact with that individual.
• > For full information about the test and trace system visit gov.uk/guidance
