Shamefully posting for traffic...I'm bringing my little one to peppa pig world on Friday flying in from Ireland tomorrow!

Please reassure me that the weather is not that bad!!!

I live there is dead windy grey but no rain at the moment

If the weather isnt great just look on the brightside - the queues will be shorter!

They sometimes close some of the tall/more exposed rides in high winds but a bit of rain won't shut them.

There is an indoor soft play area in PP world if it rains for a bit.

Don't forget to visit the rest of Paultons Park, there are some good rides for little ones outside of the Peppa area, eg the seal and digger rides (the children go on their own) or the Jeep or Dino Egg spinner ride in the dinosaur area. The tractor type ride in the American section is good too.

Fingers crossed for your trip!

We've been a few times where it's rained on and off during the day and it was still great fun!!

It shows rain and has most days and continues to show rain. But most days are just grey with tiny amounts of rain here and there. You'll want layers. I dashed out for lunch today with no coat but it was a bit chilly for that!

I have had some brilliant days at Paultons in the rain. Enjoy!

We're going to Paultons on Friday/Saturday as we have an INSET Day. I've been checking the weather every day for the last week... it's looking a bit miserable! We've been before in the rain and it's not quite as fun for the adults but the kids don't mind so much.

It might be quite windy on Friday afternoon and then they do have to close the bigger rides, but most of the PPW ones stay open (they usually close Miss Rabbit's Helicopter, Windy Castle and Queen's Carriage), but there's plenty of others around the park to go on.

High winds forecast according to BBC in Ower where PP is. Some rides may be closed for safety.

Why don’t you add it to your weather app? Then
you can get an
hourly forecast

It’s on the met office website or your phone weather app. Says it will rain all day tomorrow. It’s typical Southern England weather. Rainy, overcast, but usually warmer than most of the rest of the UK.

Thank you all for the info! I have the accuweather app and it's brutal it tells me it's raining where I am and it's not so was hoping people living there to be able to tell me!

It's going to be ok 🤞

This is looking NW and this is the hour by hour that looks bad.

Just remember Peppa likes muddy puddles. Bring some wellies and make it fun for the rainy bits.
