Temporary Changes to Parkland Access
Parkland Access | 5 August to 20 September
The central access route through Burghley Parkland is to be closed to pedestrians from Monday 5 August to Friday 20 September. The restricted access is in place to ensure the safety of Park users during the site build and breakdown periods for the 2024 Defender Burghley Horse Trials. The restricted area will be clearly signposted at key points in the Park. The Main Visitor Entrance at Pilsgate Lodges on Barnack Road is unaffected.
Burghley House and all visitor facilities are open as normal, with the exclusion of the dates of the Defender Burghley Horse Trials (5 to 8 September) when all visitor facilities close for the event.
Alternative Pedestrian Route | 6 August to 1 September and 10 to 20 September
An alternative pedestrian route will be in place to provide access through the Parkland. The temporary pedestrian route operates 7am to 8pm from Tuesday 6 August to Sunday 1 September and Tuesday 10 to Friday 20 September.
The Parkland will fully reopen on 21 September.
Please be aware this route is mainly on grass with some areas of uneven terrain.
In order to meet Health and Safety regulations, we are required to restrict access to the central area of the park to pedestrians and unauthorised vehicles during the event build and breakdown period. We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause and would like to thank local residents and visitors for their understanding during the partial closure.
