Help needed!

So we’ve come in today for our animal event to find limited power to the unit. By limited I mean 2 toilets and the party room have power. When I came in this morning to find this there was a tripped switch on our fuse box which I reset, the one I reset is the one that’s now providing power - the rest aren’t

Looking for advice on what to check now or for someone trained in this to come out and have a look ASAP please 🙏🙏

Apologies for the terrible photo, we are in the dark here 😂

Today we are beyond excited to be preparing the unit for a visit from Science Buddies UK and their animals! 🎉🎉

Don’t forget we close for normal play on Sundays during the warmer months with the odd opening depending upon weather forecast, birthday parties or events and personal plans. Therefore there will be no drop in available today, entry is only for those with a ticket for our event 😁

If a Sunday Funday is planned we will always post about it numerous times during the week 😁
