Razzle Dazzle back soon
Although the Razzle Dazzle will not be running at the start of the new season, we are hopeful that it will be back soon.
We are having a new pole manufactured for the ride in LIncolnshire and the assembly is expected to be returned to us during April. If that is the case, the we expect to have the ride up and running during May. Watch this space for morenews!
Sadly we have had to withdraw the Steam Swings due to boiler problems with the engine but we are confident that the job will be completed within the next few weeks.
There is still a lot to see and do at Hollycombe, so do come along and enjoy the heady atmosphere of the steam age at work.

2012 admission changes
Over the winter we have been busy installing a new visitor reception desk and computerised admissions system in the station building. This will speed up visitors' entry and make Gift Aid submissions much easier.
On arrival, you can now park – and go to the toilets – before paying; and once you've paid, all the rides are included.
There has been a modest increase in admission prices this year to cover ever-increasing costs, but the admission still represents great value for money.
We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Volunteers needed!
Heve you ever wondered what goes on at Hollycombe during the winter? Now's your chance as we always need more volunteers to help with the myriad jobs that need doing to get the rides and engines ready for the new season. You don't have to be skilled as there is something for everyone. If you're good at gardening, there is always a long list of grounds maintenance and hedge cutting to be done, while if painting or carpentry are more your style, then – you've guessed it – there pently of that too!
Why not come along on a Saturday or Sunday and have a chat; we'll even give you a hot meal on a Sunday for £2.00. Otherwise, email us at info@hollycombe.co.uk.
