Waddesdon Manor
Grounds visits this winter
Waddesdon is open Wed-Sun for daytime local outdoor exercise only. Advance booking essential.
Following the latest lockdown regulations our opening hours will now be 10am-4pm (last admission 2pm). This is to provide local people with an opportunity to exercise in the fresh air on their own, with their household/bubble or with one person from another household.
Safety is our priority, please respect other visitors by maintaining social distance and do not arrange to meet other people at Waddesdon. Visitor numbers are reduced and all visitors, including National Trust members who have free admission, need to book an arrival time slot to manage numbers on site.
Takeaway food and drink will be available, but no seating may be provided near these outlets. Toilets will be open. However, the House, Aviary, indoor restaurant and cafe, cellars and shop will be closed in line with Government guidance.
Unfortunately, the light trails and interactive features we had hoped to keep open, must now close.
