    The Knaresborough tourist attraction reopens to the public this weekend, but strict limits on visitors and time spent in the park are in place to keep visitors safe.

    Mother Shipton's cave in Knaresborough is reopening tomorrow. Visitors will be allowed to explore the park for a maximum of two and a half hours to maintain limited contact.

    There is a pre-booking system in place to allow visitors to book an arrival time slot in advance of their visit. The attraction is also limiting the number of passengers to seven people per car and each car will be charged at £20.

    Vans, minibuses, and motorhomes will not be allowed and neither will pedestrians who arrive without a car. This is in an attempt to control the number of vehicles and people within the attraction.

    Most of the favoured elements will be accessible to visitors including the petrifying well and of course, Mother Shipton’s Cave.

    But the museum and gift shop will remain closed until the reopening of non-essential shops on the June 15. The adventure playground will also stay closed until government advice on playgrounds changes.
