Digger Land. Is there one in Surrey?

Someone told me that they have seen a Digger Land near Guildford, Surrey but when I google I can only find the one in Kent (too far for day out).

Does any one know if there is one in Surrey, Berkshire, hampshire i.e. easier to get to from NW London.

I've not heard of one

Just been there last weekend - it's on our doorstep and well worth a visit. We had a great day there. The locations are Strood in Kent, Langley Park in Co Durham and Cullompton in Devon (just retrieved the bumph from the recycling box).
Looks like your nearest one is ours. Where would you be coming from?

We have been to Strood and the Cullomptom one. Cullomptom was the better of the 2.

Coming from West London so the Kent one is the nearest? Just trying to plan ahead with some activities for the Easter holidays.

Any tips for when we are there?

I would bring a picnic with you and coats etc - we went on a freezing cold day! No queues though. It's good fun. Under threes are free although there's quite a few rides they can't go on, although plenty they can with an adult.

Loads for over threes in terms of driving diggers and the suchlike and operating them. Some must be adult accompanied Adults can have a go at driving a huge JCB around a very big muddy field. Kids can also ride along on this. It's very bumpy.

The cost is £12.50 per person - same price for adults and children and you can ride all machines all day. At the moment there is a snow park there with 'real' snow, but I believe this closes at the end of March. It costs £7.50 per person all day. You can do either/or for both parks, or you can combine the two making it £20pp. We decided just to do the diggers and do the snow another time and there was enough to keep us busy all afternoon. We spent around five hours there from noon 'til close. If your dc love diggers etc then this is great fun. Operating them is more fun as you get the hang of it. I have no idea what the food area is like as we didn't use it and loos are fairly basic. There is an indoor area with pay to play games and free computer JCB games and a free bouncy castle for under threes.
