COVID-19  OPENING ARRANGEMENTS

At the start of 2020, we could not have imagined keeping our doors shut to visitors for such a large part of the year.  Sadly, it would seem that not much has changed as we launch into 2021.  We have greatly appreciated your patience and understanding over the past year, whilst we have worked through the latest Government legislation and guidance in order to keep our visitors and staff safe.  We endeavour to keep the website as up-to-date as possible to reflect any changes, so we kindly ask you to READ ALL OF OUR OPENING INFORMATION CAREFULLY PRIOR TO VISITING to avoid any disappointment.  Thank you.

Levens Kitchen is CLOSED until further notice.  

The Gift Shop is CLOSED until further notice. 

The House and Gardens are now CLOSED for the season, and REOPEN on Sunday 28 March 2021.  

What to expect when you are able to visit us:

• A face covering MUST be worn at all times in Levens Kitchen.
• Please maintain a 2 metre distance from visitors outside of your own household.
• 2m guidelines are clearly marked where there may be a need to queue.
• Please visit in group sizes to reflect current government guidelines.  
• Please use the hand sanitizers when entering and exiting the site. Additional hand sanitizers can be found at various locations around the site, and you are encouraged to use them whenever possible.
• If our staff deem that the site is becoming too busy, we will operate a one-out, one-in policy.
• Please follow any signage that you may find around the grounds, or instructions given to you by our staff.
• Only 1 person to queue to order food in Levens Kitchen.

We are sure you will appreciate that this is an ever-changing situation and we are constantly reviewing arrangements, but if you would like to discuss anything with a member of staff, or spot a problem, we would really like to hear from you before you leave, so please speak to us – we are a friendly and helpful team!
