Letter from Centre Manager Di Rogers, 11th JuneĀ
Although the shopping centre benefits from being an outdoor centre,Ā the health and wellbeing of our staff, shoppers and visitors remains our absolute priority so we have introduced a number of important changes in order to offer an enjoyable and safe shopping experience for all.
There are clear markings on the ground to help if you need to queue outside a store, we have hand sanitiser stations around the centre and are observing strict social distancing.
We will all have to work together to ensure we follow the social distancing rules at the centre and in the stores, so your patience and understanding whilst we get used to our new way of shopping is greatly appreciated.
Ā To keep the stores as safe as possible for you we have adjusted our opening hours to 10am-5pm every day, and 10.30am-4.30pm on Sundays, to allow for thorough cleaning of every shop floor.
We have also had to temporarily close our play areas and remove the childrenās rides from the mall. We hope to get them back open as soon as possible.
Certain stores will remain closed for a little while longer, but we will provide regular updates on our website and social media channels as soon as we have new information to share.
This has been an incredibly challenging time for the whole country, and weād like to take this opportunity to thank you for sticking with us. On behalf of everyone here at Lakeside Village, their families and the wider community we also want to express our utmost admiration for all the NHS and key workers who have played such a large part in managing the current crisis and ultimately enabling us to re-open safely.
We are really looking forward to seeing you soon.

We donāt have all the answers right now and we are firming up the details ā but for now, here is an insight into our thinking.
Our team have been busy planning which venues will be safe to open and how. We are making sure that we have safe, hygienic facilities that enable our customers and staff to be together in a socially distanced way with plenty of space to use for their exercise. The different sizes and spaces in our venues mean that this will work better in some rather than others and for that reason, we will be having a rolling opening process with four gyms, our cycle track and our outdoor activity centre opening first.Ā
The timetable for opening these venues will follow updated advice from the Chief Medical Officer and the Government.

A wonderful place to discover spectacular views of the Peak District, ancient woods, parkland and heather moorland. Nearby Padley Gorge is great for paddling.
Several car parks including the main Woodcroft car park (which has toilet facilities), plus the smaller Wooden PoleĀ and Haywood car parks. There is a large house, currently closed during the Covid pandemic.
We visited recently (about an hours drive from Doncaster) and it was a great place for a walk, with stunning views, lots of interesting trees and dens. We were amongst the grazing sheep too. There is a large pond with ducks. Toilets were open in the main car park. Parking is free for National Trust members.
Just nearby is Padley Gorge, which is brilliant for paddling.

The park had taken a severe financial hit as even with 70% of staff furloughed there are still high care and feed bills for their animals. The lockdown has cost the park around Ā£5 million in lost revenue and is impacting its ability to carry out award-winning conservation projects. In addition to this the monthly cost of looking after and feeding the animals and maintaining the park in lockdown is circa Ā£300,000 per month.
YWP called on its supporters to support the park and other zoos around the country by urging their Members of Parliament to take up the plight of zoos and aquariums with government in this debate: #YourZoosNeedYou. Almost 3000 people downloaded the letter template to send to their MPās and the park has been deeply touched by the support and the positive messages that it has received.
āWe are very grateful for the level of support that we have received from our supporters who have campaigned to help us reopen. We now aim to open next Monday 15thĀ June with restrictions in place in line with government guidance. The safety and health of our staff team, our visitors and our animals are paramount. We have carried out detailed planning to look at how we can control numbers through only selling advance tickets with time slots and how we needed to adapt the site and our protocols for visitor management and cleaning in line with government guidance. Many zoos have already opened up in Europe, Ireland and on Jersey and we have been learning from their experience,ā said John Minion, Chief Executive of the park at Branton, near Doncaster.
āThe park is home to more than 450 animals, including many endangered species, and we are a centre for educational and conservation work, which has had to be put on hold. We are delighted that we can once again welcome our visitors to our park.ā
The park is an important educational resource for the region and through the Yorkshire Wildlife Park Foundation raises funds for conservation and animal welfare projects around the globe. Several ground breaking conservation projects overseas are now on hold for this year due to lack of funding.
YWP attracted more than 760,000 visitors last year and has won a string of accolades for its initiatives and animal care. It is a major driver of economy into the region with a contribution of over 12.85m GVA (Gross Value Added) annually. The park is also one of the largest local employers with nearly 250 staff on the payroll. The park is an important educational resource for the region and through the Yorkshire Wildlife Park Foundation raises funds for conservation and animal welfare projects around the globe.
āLike other zoos and parks, we have highly dedicated staff team who have worked tirelessly to give the best care to our animals throughout the lockdown,ā added Mr Minion.
āSeeing the park open again will be morale-boosting for the local community and our visitors from around the region. It will be a boost for local businesses too as we have over 980 suppliers that have been impacted by our closure. We are grateful for the support so far, and we hope that this will be sustained by people visiting the park to help us through the coming months as it will take a long time to recover financially from this enforced shutdown.”
Ā A restricted number of tickets will go on sale at the weekend on the park websiteĀ www.yorkshirewildlifepark.comĀ . Facilities will be limited in line with government guidelines with play areas and indoor areas closed and take away food and drink on offer. Full information will be available on the website.Ā
