Day tickets, car parking and refunds

Diggerland has four locations across the UK. These are in Kent, Devon, Durham and Yorkshire, each with over 20 drives and rides. Visitors can drive real machinery such as diggers, dumpers and miniature Land Rovers.

Day tickets

  • One-day pass: Tickets start from £25.95 per person when booked in advance online, while on the day entry at the gate starts from £39.50 per person.

  • Over 65s: Tickets start from £12.97 per person when booked in advance online. On the day entry at the gate starts from £19.75 per person – you’ll need some ID to prove your age.

  • Remember: Children under 90cm get free entry to Diggerland when accompanied by a full-paying adult, so don't pay if your child is under this height.

Managed to find a discount voucher? Diggerland says discount vouchers cannot be redeemed online. This means you’ll need to present your voucher at the park on arrival, so make sure your discount is better than the price of buying a ticket online.

Diggerland isn’t partnered with Tesco Rewards or Blue Light Card, however, NHS staff and British Forces personnel can get discounted entry into Diggerland parks. The discount is against on-the-day rates, so can’t be used against online bookings.

Quick need-to-knows

  • Booking fee: A £5 fee is added to bookings made in advance online.

  • Fast pass: None. Diggerland say its queues are generally cleared within 20 minutes even on its busiest days.

  • Car parking: Free.

  • Refunds: Generally not issued. If a park needs to close, then pre-booked tickets can be rescheduled for a later date in 2026. Diggerland does not grant refunds because of inclement weather.

  • Leaving & returning: You can head back to your car to pick up items for free, but you’ll need to get your hand stamped by a member of staff first.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link.
