Before you visit
The wellbeing of our visitors, staff and volunteers remains our priority, so we have a range of COVID-secure safety measures in place. Although things might look a little different when you visit, you can still enjoy exploring our historic places and you’ll still be given a warm welcome by our friendly staff and volunteers. Please remember to take your face covering with you at all times as they’re mandatory in some areas.
You need to book your visit in advance.
Please check the tier guidance where you live, stay local (ie in your own village, town or part of your city) and avoid travelling to a lower or higher tier than the one you are travelling from. If you cannot visit due to Covid-19 restrictions, we will refund any pre-booked tickets. Please see here for details.
