Booking for Belton
We'll be releasing tickets here every Thursday on a rolling basis for four weeks ahead, or you can call 0344 249 1895 to book.
We're trialling a new booking system this year at Belton. By using a booking system we're able to manage the number of visitors at any one time, ensuring that those visiting have a great experience.
There is a generous allocation of tickets, with the capacity set to 4,500 a day. We recommend booking in advance for busy periods, such as bank holidays. During other days, visitors will be able to book on the day or walk in, and you can still enjoy those spontaneous visits. For more information, please check our FAQ's below.
We recommend making an account when booking, as you will be able to change the date or time of your booking up to 24 hours before your timeslot. Please note, you can only amend your booking if you have a DigiTickets account, which can only be created at the time of booking. If you did not make an account, please call our booking team on 0344 249 1895.
