Membership makes visiting more relaxing as you’re not stressing about times, fees or paying parking. Also it allows us to call in when passing to use the cafe for a coffee and cake with out having to pay extra for parking as we would in the past go elsewhere like a Costa!

Looking for the perfect gift? Give membership!

If you know someone who loves Dalby Forest, give them a membership voucher. A membership voucher gives them a whole year of free visits, theirs to start whenever they're ready. Local or national, it's a gift that'll get used.

The recipient of your gift can choose when their membership starts and enjoy a whole year of Forestry England member benefits.

The primary reason for choosing to join is Mountain Biking as this is an activity my son enjoys and presents a bonding opportunity for us. We regularly go to Dalby Forest and have travelled to other forests, holidaying in Kielder last summer. We want to explore more of the forests throughout the country. The membership makes sense financially and I also feel that it enables us to support a positive cause.
