Dyrham Park

Our gardens, parks, cafés, shops and countryside locations are open to visit. Houses in England and Wales will reopen from 17 May and houses in Northern Ireland are expected to reopen from 24 May. Advance booking for visits helps us keep everyone safe and socially distanced. At quieter times such as weekdays, booking shouldn't be necessary, but to guarantee entry we recommend booking in advance, especially at weekends and bank holidays. Please check the property webpage before you visit and follow government guidance.

If you've booked a ticket but can no longer make your slot, we'd really appreciate it if you can cancel your ticket. It takes just a couple of clicks, and means someone else can visit in your place.

Dogs (other than assistance dogs) are not allowed in the parkland, garden or house but we do have a small dog walking area near the car park.

There are acres of ancient parkland, formal gardens and woodland terraces waiting to be discovered. Our downloadable walking trails will take you on a journey through history, under trees and to the best spots for sweeping vistas. Why not discover more this season?

The shop is open. For the safety of staff and visitors we've introduced social distancing measures and changes to payment, which will be via card only. Visitors to our shop will be required to wear a face covering. It is through your purchases that we are able to continue looking after Dyrham Park for everyone, for ever.

Looking for the perfect gift or perhaps you're in need of some retail therapy? You can browse our full range via our online shop. Your purchases and support enable us to continue to care for the nature, beauty and history we all miss.

Connections to empire run deep in the activities of three families: the Wynters, the Poveys and the Blathwayts. Together, they take us through 100 years of British imperial ambitions, from exploration and the start of the transatlantic slave trade, to the foundations of a colonial empire.

Dyrham Park, along with a number of other places and collections in our care, has direct links with colonialism. Learn more about what we are doing to address the histories of slavery and colonialism and to acknowledge their impact and legacies.

Dyrham Park is collaborating with a team of historians, including Dr Corinne Fowler at the University of Leicester, on Colonial Countryside. This child-led writing and history project explores African-Caribbean and Indian connections at 11 of our places.
