Tips & Advice
- Book your visit before travelling, as the event page directs visitors to book and the seasonal display is included with House admission.
- Use the free car park at the end of Gosport Road, since charges apply at the car park opposite the House.
- Book a taxi from Alton station in advance, as there is no taxi rank and Uber is unavailable.
- If taking the 64 bus, get off at Lincoln Green and walk to the House; Chawton Roundabout requires an unsafe dual-carriageway crossing.
- Check the 38 bus timetable before travelling from Alton, because the service stops directly at the House but does not run frequently.
