Do not Feed or Touch

Wollaton Park has issued a warning to visitors after a group of people, including children, were seen touching a stag.

The park and a local councillor have both stressed the importance of keeping a safe distance from the deer (at least 50 meters) to avoid serious injury.

Visitors are advised not to feed the deer, as it can cause them to become aggressive and learn to approach people for food. The deer have learnt to raid picnics.

Sign: Keep 50m from deer
