CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)

UPDATED 11am, 8 September 2020

O P E N

The House, Gardens, Gift Shop and Levens Kitchen are open Sunday - Thursday until 29 October.

From 30 October, Levens Kitchen and the Gift Shop will open 7 days a week until 28 March 2021 (closed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day and then from New Year's Day until 17 January 2021).

It will come as no surprise to learn that we have had to make some slight changes to the way we operate, but we're sure you'll understand that these alterations are necessary in order to keep our visitors and staff safe, so please bear with us during these exceptional times.

Gardens admission tickets

Where possible, we ask that you purchase admission tickets to the Gardens online in advance. Tickets are not date or time specific, and can be used anytime during our opening hours (Sunday - Thursday), before the end of the season on 29 October 2020.

Fortunately we have plenty of space in the Gardens so adhering to social distancing rules is quite simple. But, if we do feel that the site is becoming too busy, we will operate a one-out, one-in policy immediately.

If you buy a Gardens admission ticket and then decide you want to "upgrade" your ticket to include entry to the House, that's ok. Simply go to the entrance kiosk and ask a member of staff - they will be more than happy to exchange your ticket to include the House tour, for a small additional cost of £4 per person.

House & Gardens admission tickets

Tickets for House & Gardens admission can only be bought at the entrance kiosk. In order to maintain social distancing, we will be offering guided tours of the House for groups of up to 8 people. These will take place every 30 minutes between 10.30am and 3.30pm. You can book your place on a tour by speaking to our kiosk staff when you arrive. Tours will last approximately 30-40 minutes. You should queue at the steps leading to the main entrance to the House at the 2 metre markers. One of our knowledgeable House Stewards will come and meet you for your tour.

Historic House members

HH members are welcome to visit at any time during our hours of business. There's no need to book a visit time. Just bring your membership card for scanning. If you want to visit the House, you will need to book onto one of the guided tours when you arrive at the entrance kiosk. (Tours are subject to availability)

Levens Kitchen

Levens Kitchen offers a TAKEAWAY MENU and the new LEVENS PICNIC LUNCH, and has both indoor and outdoor seating. We don't operate a table reservations system, so we invite you to find a seat, order at the counter, sit back down and relax, and the food will then be brought to your table.

Purchases in the Gift Shop and in Levens Kitchen should be made by card, as we cannot accept cash.

To find out more about our opening arrangements, please take a moment to read COVID 19: OPENING ARRANGEMENTS - WHAT TO EXPECT prior to visiting.

Thank you.
