Planning your visit
Entry: There's no need to book your festive visit to Hatchlands Park. Normal property admission price applies (free for National Trust members).
Parking: Free parking is available in the car park next to Visitor Reception.
Planning your visit: Christmas can be a busy time at Hatchlands Park. Most visitors tend to arrive between 11am and 2pm, which can cause congestion in the car park. If you arrive at 10am you might find the grounds a little quieter and if you arrive after 1pm, there’s still time to enjoy all that Hatchlands Park has to offer. Please note that the last entry to the house is 3pm.
If you have the flexibility, a weekday visit is generally quieter than a weekend, even during school holidays. If you can only visit over the weekend, Saturdays are usually less busy than Sundays.
