Waddesdon closes Winter Lights trails but grounds remain open to book

Waddesdon thanked residents for support during difficult times

Due to the latest lockdown announcement, Waddesdon has taken the decision to close its Winter Light trails and interactive features scheduled for January, but will open to provide local people with an opportunity to exercise in the fresh air.

Opening hours are amended from 6 January to 10am-4pm (with limited numbers of tickets in each hourly arrival slot, last admission slot 2pm).

All visitors, including National Trust members who have free admission, need to book an arrival time slot in order to help stagger admissions and provide a safe experience for everyone. Waddesdon also asks that people follow Government guidelines and only visit if you live locally.

For anyone who lives locally and would like to book to visit for outdoor exercise, you can do so here: https://waddesdon.seetickets.com/content/ticket-options

Simon Wales, Chief Operating Officer, said: "We are saddened to have to make these changes to our opening times, but believe it is important to play our part limiting the transmission of the coronavirus.

"We want to thank everyone for their continued support, and very much look forward to welcoming you to Waddesdon again when it is safe to do so."
