Tips & Advice

  • Weekends get busy, so come when the Hall opens or later in the afternoon, and be ready to wait to enter at peak times.
  • Go into the Hall well before last entry, because it closes earlier than the grounds and car park.
  • Expect to leave buggies and pushchairs just outside the Hall, since they're not recommended inside the house.
  • Pack waterproofs and wellies if you plan to walk the gardens or parkland after seeing the decorations indoors.
  • Have your membership card ready when you reach Visitor Reception, so your entry goes quickly on busy festive days.
