Blackgang Chine FAQs

Here's some of the most frequently-asked questions about school visits to Blackgang Chine, posed by teachers and other group leaders

How accessible is the park?

Whilst most of the main park elements are easily accessible on wide, relatively flat footpaths, there are some smaller areas that might present a problem to the less able or wheelchair users as there are some inclines in places. So long as there's plenty of able-bodied assistance this shouldn't cause too many difficulties.

How much time should we budget for?

Blackgang Chine really is a full day activity to get the most out of the park, however some schools like to combine a trip here with a shorter activity such as a beach fossil walk or a boat trip to the Needles rocks, both nearby.

Are there any considerations regarding infection control?

Hand sanitiser stations throughout. Majority of facility is outdoors. Indoor areas may be subject to limits on capacity.

Is there space to sit and eat a packed lunch picnic?

Plenty of picnic spaces and tables throughout the park

How does payment work?

We will pre-book your visit for you and your entry charges will be paid directly by Education Destination. All you need to do is show up at the agreed time, line the kids up outside, identify yourselves to staff and you'll be enjoying the park in no time!

Is there anywhere on-site or nearby selling snacks, drinks or ice cream?

Yes - several cafes and kiosks
