"The past week has been extremely difficult for everyone involved, including staff, customers, management and owners.

"Whilst we will endeavour to honour any future events booked in the main building or the tipis, at this present time, it is unfortunately beyond our ability.

"As you can imagine, there is so much happening behind the scenes.

"We will keep everyone updated once we know more from our insurers.

"Please be patient."
