Admission*
Please note that last admission to the house and garden is 4.30pm. This is to allow a minimum of at least 45 minutes for each visit.
All visitors to Elton Hall & Gardens must be in possession of a valid ticket. We strongly recommend that tickets are booked online in advance. This also applies to Historic House and RHS Partner Garden members** who are advised to reserve a date/time online. For the comfort and safety of all, visitors arriving without a pre-booked ticket may need to wait before admittance or may be turned away. Visitors arriving outside the timeslot specified on their ticket may also be required to wait before admittance. Please note that Elton Hall operates a cashless system.
Entry time to the Hall building is shown on your ticket. Visitors with tickets timed at 3.00pm or later may enter the grounds from an hour before the ticket time and visit the Gardens first.
Visits to the Hall are either “free-flow” (with Room Stewards available to answer questions) or by guided tour, depending on staff availability. Most “free-flow” visitors take 45 minutes to 1 hour for the route through the Hall: guided tours last an hour.
The route around the Garden is at your leisure and, on average, takes approximately 45 minutes.
**Free entry for RHS Partner Garden members is applicable on Wednesdays and Thursdays only.
Accessibility
The Hall is not suitable for wheelchairs, Zimmer frames or pushchairs. There are several flights of steps, which may be a problem for visitors with walking difficulties. There is very little visitor seating within the Hall. The Garden is accessible for wheelchairs via gravel paths.
For further information about access arrangements, please telephone the Events Office: 01832 280468 / 07949 495422 or email events@eltonhall.com
Security and large bags
For safety and security reasons, a one-way system operates along the visitor route. Backpacks may not be worn and large bags and items may not be carried inside the Hall (including pushchairs). These can be left behind the front desk and collected at the end of your house visit.
Can I bring a picnic?
Picnics/barbeques are not permitted and there are no picnic facilities. Bosworth’s Garden Centre in the walled garden provides delicious lunches, teas and light refreshments (booking suggested). It is also possible to book lunch at The Black Horse (see Places to Eat).
