Waddesdon Manor postpones house opening amid coronavirus pandemic

They will be keeping the grounds and gardens open as of Saturday March 21.

Speaking to the Herald, they said: "However, knowing that a walk outdoors in beautiful surrounding can positively help health and well-being, we are opening our grounds and gardens for visitors to make free, fully independent visits from Saturday 21 March.

"We will open the Coffee Bar for take away hot drinks and snacks, and the bar and restaurant at the Five Arrows will be serving meals Friday-Sunday.

"Due to limited staffing, we will not be opening our visitor information centre; there will be no guided walks and talks; and the wine cellars, restaurants and shops will not be open.

"We hope to be able to open the House, A Rothschild Treasury, Collecting Stories exhibitions and Roses from my Garden exhibition of Nick Knight’s photographs in the Coach House Gallery in a few weeks. We will publish our re-opening information as soon as we can.

"The health and well-being of our visitors and staff are our highest priority, and we ask people to check the Waddesdon website for the latest updates, here: https://waddesdon.org.uk/
