Visiting Berrington: what to expect from your visit

Arrival and parking

Please be aware that the A49 entrance is currently closed; please use the alternative entrance off Eye Lane. Remember to have your tickets and membership cards close to hand as you arrive. Once you've parked, follow the signs to Visitor Reception where one of our friendly team members will check your booking and membership cards and provide you with the information you need to have a safe and enjoyable visit. Walk-in visitors with no pre-booked tickets will only be admitted if there is space to do so - please note pre-booked visitors take priority. 

Feel free to take a picture of our walks map just outside Visitor Reception and download our map of the one-way routes around the gardens here.

Please arrive within your half-hour timeslot, to help maintain social distancing. You’re welcome to stay as long as you like until closing time at 5pm when the car park and gates will be locked.

Staying safe

To help keep everyone safe, please follow social distancing and government guidance when you visit. Look out for signs while you’re here which will explain any changes we've put in place, including areas that may be closed and one-way systems. 

You’ll find sinks for hand washing in the toilets, as well as hand sanitiser on entry and exit.

If you’re showing any of the symptoms of coronavirus, or if you've been in contact with anyone that has the virus in the last 14 days, please don’t visit.

What can I see and do?

You can explore the gardens and take a seat on one of our benches which are sanitised regularly throughout the day. Bring along your four-legged friend and go for a springtime walk through the parkland. We have different way-marked routes you can follow, including a den building area in the woodland for little explorers. We're sorry that the curved walled garden is currently closed while we undertake essential restoration work to the original walls. Find out more here.  

The second-hand bookshop, which can now be found in the courtyard, will open daily from Monday 12 April from 11am to 4pm. We've put some measures in place to help keep everyone safe; find out more by following the link below. 

The mansion and shop remain closed. We're sorry for any disappointment this may cause. We're sorry but adult's and children's bikes and scooters are not permitted within the gardens and grounds.

Facilities 

Toilets - including access and baby change facilities - are available in the car park and courtyard and are operating on a one-out, one-in basis. These are all sanitised by our team throughout the day.

Stables cafe - open from 10am to 5pm daily, serving a limited take away menu of hot drinks, cakes and light bites. We’ve introduced new safety measures of perspex screens where you order and pay. We’ll also only be accepting card payment. Please follow the signs which show you where to queue and keep a safe distance from others. Outdoor seating will be available from Monday 12 April. 

We hope you have a lovely visit - thank you for helping us to stay open safely.
