Health & Safety and Visitor Information

Fire Alarm

If for any reason the Fire Alarm is activated, you will hear a loud continuous bell.  On hearing the bell visitors should make their way to the nearest Fire Exit, these are clearly marked.  Visitors should wait at the Fire Assembly point, which is located on the blocked paving between the main entrance and the car park. Do not re-enter the building until told it is safe to do so by a member of the Forest Centre Team.
