Visiting the House & Gardens

House - Open every Wednesday to Sunday. Time ticket slots available between 10:30am to 5pm (last entry at 4:30pm).

Gardens - Open daily from 10:30am. Time slot sessions are seperated hourly (10:30am - 2:30pm, last admission is 4:30pm). You can enter the Gardens at any time you like between your booked hourly slot.

If you wish to visit the Gardens only, please go to Visiting the Gardens.

Please note that tickets to the House & Gardens are valid for 365 days, so you are welcome to return as many times as you wish from the date of purchase for an entire year during normal opening times. (Group and schools education visits excluded).

All tickets need to be purchased in advance of your visit.

To visit the House & Gardens, you will need both of the following:

• Book a free time slot ticket. These are 30-minute timed arrival sessions. You may not enter the House before the beginning of your timed session. You are welcome to visit the Gardens on the same day as your House timed ticket slot, either before or after your House Visit.
• Purchase a House & Gardens ticket. Your ticket is valid for 365 days from the date of purchase, allowing you to visit Burghley House & Gardens as many times as you like from the date of purchase.
• For our Friends of Burghley and Historic House members, all you need to do is book a free time slot ticket prior to your visit. (Historic House members, please bring your HH Card).

If you have booked a House time slot and wish to visit the Gardens before or after on the same day, you do not need to book a Gardens time slot.
