Summer Late openings at Basildon Park

You can now visit Basildon Park in the evenings between 24 July and 29 August, every Friday and Saturday.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Bring the family along during the cooler evenings to enjoy the ball runs in the walled garden, visit the house whilst the light is particularly magical or just simply enjoy a picnic or ice cream on the lawn.

Please note that here will be a change to our usual opening hours on these days to accommodate the later openings.
