Stratford Butterfly Farm is a COVID-19 secure environment and has achieved Visit Britain’s ‘Good to Go’ industry-standard mark of approval to provide extra visitor confidence. The popular tourist attraction has also signed the Coventry, Solihull, and Warwickshire COVID Secure Business Pledge.
During lockdown, the Butterfly Farm has been busy making improvements to enhance the visitor’s experience. Clive Farrell, owner of the Farm, has been breeding tropical butterflies which will be released into the flight area on Sunday 16 May. The team has been busy replanting the outdoor and tropical gardens as well as giving Minibeast Metropolis a stunning new look featuring a 1,000-litre tropical Aquarium. The walkways within the Flight Area have been edged with Cotswold stone and hand-crafted wooden pergolas have replaced the metal archways.
The Butterfly Farm also successfully applied for Warwick County Council’s ‘Adapt & Diversify Grant’ and have used the funding to install a sound system featuring ‘sounds of the rainforest’ from local specialists Simpson’s Sound & Vision Ltd.
Jane Kendrick, Marketing Manager at Stratford Butterfly Farm said, “We are delighted to re-open our doors after being closed for such a long period. We would like to thank our visitors throughout the past year for their patience and understanding and look forward to revealing all the changes we have made including the release of thousands of stunning tropical butterflies, our new look aquarium, improvements to our gardens and new sound system which provides a more immersive visitor experience.”
