In the interest of public safety, individuals can expect that relevant searches and questions will take place, and we ask that you allow additional time for this. We stipulate that if you are wearing a Kirpan it should be no more than 6” in overall length, should be worn securely under clothes, out of sight and difficult to access and never be drawn from it sheath and a suitable clasp or mechanism to ensure it is not easily drawn should be incorporated. Due to the nature of some high speed, vigorous rides within the park, the Kirpan should be strapped securely to the body to ensure it does not move about freely during physical activity. Non-compliance, or failure to follow these guidelines will result in refusal of entry to the park and action may be taken to evict you from the premises should this be deemed necessary.

22. Guests are reminded that as well as water being a feature of some of the park’s attractions, certain areas of the park are within a natural watercourse environment. Therefore parents/guardians and responsible adults must ensure that they supervise all infants and young children at all times when close to water.

23. Drayton Manor Resort is a family theme park, guests are kindly reminded to dress appropriately and ensure they are fully clothed at all times during their visit.

These regulations are for the benefit of all our visitors and will be strictly enforced. Reviewed August 2022
