The drainage on the site has been implemented to ensure that all hardstanding pitches do not suffer from standing water. Over the past couple of years these have been tried and tested and we are proud that our pitches do not suffer from any kind of flooding which enables us to be open all year round, no matter how much rain we get - and that's been a lot!
