Answers to Common Questions • Torrington 1646
Can I bring my horseless carriage (car)
Of course, we are right by the South Street car park in Torrington. You will need at least two hours (£1 in 2009), why not buy a four hour ticket (£1.50) and stay for a bite afterwards then walk around our attractive small North Devon Town.
Can I bring my family?
Absolutely, we have a family ticket that covers two adults and up to three children, giving you a saving of up to £7.75 on the admission price.
Can I bring my granny?
Of course, and gramps, uncle, aunt and father-in-law. We welcome a great variety of customers of all ages including a large number of 'recycled teenagers' who visit us on coach trips or within family groups. They oft have the greatest fun and cause the loudest laughter.
Can I bring my under fives?
Very many people do and find their children are entranced by the characters and the experiences they have whilst with us - the look on their faces is reward enough! All of our characters are CRB checked.
Can I bring my babe-in-arms?
Naturally. Whilst they will not get much from the experience, you will. Of course we have nappy changing facilities, high chairs in the Café and will always try to help with your feeding needs.
Can I bring my teenage son?
We can teach him what life might have been like in the army and enrol him in the pike drill.
Can I bring my teenage daughter?
Absolutely, what better age to teach the secret of the bum roll.
Can I bring my husband?
Allow him to enjoy the attitude towards the women folk for a short while, before he has to return to the reality of your own time.
Can I bring my wife?
Some may find the attitudes a little hard to bear, but it all done in the best possible taste, have a care of exposed ankles and elbows though.
Can I bring my appetite?
An excellent idea. For then you will be able to partake in variety of light meals available in our Café', or perhaps sample the delicious home-made cakes or even a rat pasty!
Can I bring my dog?
Sure. If it is not hot, you can always leave them in you car in the nearby car park and pop out regularly to check. And before and/or afterwards take them for a walk on the spectacular Torrington Commons just at the end of the Car Park. If it is too hot, bring them in. Whilst alas we are unable to accept dogs within the buildings (apart from guide dogs), you can always leave them in the gardens+ on a suitable lead. We will make sure they have water and - as the majority of our characters are dog owners - they won't lack attention!
Can I bring my pet rat?
Best not. Our 17th century village rat catcher is always looking for more specimens to use in his rat stew!
