Diggerland
Associated with H.E. Services, the UK's largest specialist excavator hire company, Diggerland welcomes you to four sites: one at Strood, Kent, one at Langley Park, Co. Durham, one at Verbeer Manor, Cullompton, Devon and one at Whitwood, near Castleford in West Yorkshire.
Diggerland guarantees a fun filled, exciting, action packed day out for kids and adults of all ages.
Children (and adults if they wish) have the opportunity to ride in, and drive, different types of construction machinery including Dumper Trucks, Mini Diggers and Giant Diggers (all under strict supervision).
There are great opportunities to take photos, or learn about the workings of the machines from the fully trained Instructors constantly on hand. Diggerland is a day out with a difference: not only can families learn about how these diggers work, they can actually drive them, too!.
Empty tummies can be refueled at the Dig Inn, with a selection of snacks, burgers, salads etc. (Except in Yorkshire, where which have mobile caterers with snack wagons on site).
Diggerland does not permit the use of BBQs at any of its Parks.
