Accessible Parking

During main season (March to end of October), the first lane of our main house car park is allocated to parking for registered blue badge holders. This is subject to availability.

When booking advance tickets during the main season, free parking for one vehicle (standard or blue badge holder) is included with each transaction. Please select a blue badge parking space in the accessibility section before completing your online ticket purchase.

We'd be grateful if you present your blue badge with your tickets on arrival at our car park entrance. This should be displayed on your dashboard during your visit.
