Planning your visit

For all bookings select the time of your arrival. This is to ensure visitor arrival is spread throughout the day, last admission slot 3pm.

If booking to visit the House or Afternoon Tea, please select a Grounds arrival time at least 30 minutes earlier than your timed House or Tea booking.

Please follow latest government advice and rules.

Any visitor arriving without a booking may be turned away.

Shuttle bus tickets should be bought along with Grounds admission. Wheelchairs, mobility scooters, pushchairs and buggies are carried for free, but space must be pre-booked due to limited capacity.

Free visitor car park includes family parking.

Blue Badge parking is in the main car park and free pre-bookable tickets for shuttle buses are available for Blue Badge holders.

Walking to the Manor from the visitor car park takes about 20-25 minutes along a woodchip path which has a steep section.

There are some Premium Parking spaces in the private car park at the top of the hill, £15 per car. Parking must be pre-booked at the time of buying Grounds admission.

Please show your booking on arrival before turning towards the free car park.

Your ticket is valid for the hour of your arrival, eg arriving between 1-1.59pm for a 1pm time slot. Please do not arrive early, as you will not be able to enter early.

If arriving by foot or bike, you must still book your Grounds admission in advance and have it ready to be scanned. The ticket office is closed.

Ticket scanning is a few minutes walk from the car park along the woodchip path.

Please keep your printed ticket or booking on your mobile phone to hand, and follow instructions for scanning.

We are now required by the Government to ask every visitor, over 16 years of age, to scan the NHS Test & Trace QR code on arrival. Please download the NHS app in advance.

If you do not have a smartphone you will be asked to leave your contact details with the front of house team.

Takeaway food and drink for outdoor consumption is available 10am-5pm. There is limited seating.

The Manor Restaurant is open for pre-booked afternoon teas.

Toilets are open (including at the Welcome Pavilion). We have not been able to adapt the spacing in toilets, so please use hand sanitiser before entering and be considerate of others by keeping your distance.

A drinking water tap is provided on the front of the Woodland Café.
