We are constantly reviewing the updated Government guidance and working with our partners across Norfolk and the UK, to develop detailed and rigorous plans for reopening safely and responsibly. These plans focus on the safety and wellbeing of our visitors, staff and local communities.
Visiting the Country Park
The North Car Park is open daily from 6am - 9pm with car parking charges in place, in addition the toilet facilities at the Visitor Centre are also open from 8.30am-5.30pm. The toilets are cleaned frequently as per the guidelines and sanitising stations are in place.
For further information on car parking charges please see Parking at Sandringham.
If required we may need to restrict the numbers of cars and visitors to protect the health and safety of our visitors and staff. Please see our guidance on exercising safely in the Country Park.
Garden Opening
Weekends until 19th July inclusive.
The Gardens at Sandringham will reopen for selected weekends only throughout June and July. This will be on an advanced, limited ticket basis. If you have a Season Ticket, Garden visits must still be pre-booked using a unique code which will be emailed to you.
The Gardens will be open from 10am-5pm with the last ticket entry at 4pm. We are moving to an entirely online booking function so that we can safely manage the capacity of visitors, enjoying the Gardens. This will ensure social distancing measures and we feel it is very important to be able to monitor and manage numbers during this first easing of restrictions to ensure public safety. You can book an arrival slot at any of the following times 10am, 11am, 12midday, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm and 4pm and then stay in the Gardens for as long as you wish, each slot is limited to simply spread out the arrival of visitors throughout the day.
The take away kiosk located at the Visitor Centre will be open daily offering light refreshments and hot & cold drinks from 10am-5pm.
The Sandringham Gift Shop is now open daily from 10am-5pm, with a maximum of 10 people in the shop at any one time.
We ask that you act responsibly maintaining social distancing measures and remain vigilant at all times. Please ensure you dress for the weather on the day of your visit as our new queuing systems and social distancing measures rely on the outdoor spaces.
