From Saturday 27th February Knebworth House’s Formal Gardens and Dinosaur Trail will be opening each weekend from 10am – 4pm for local residents, at £8 per person and £28 for a family of 4 ticket.
We are delighted to offer a change of scenery for local people on their daily exercise, and keen to offer a safe space for families in the local community to enjoy the Spring days ahead. The 28 acres of gardens including the Dinosaur Trail is a great location to take a relaxing stroll and see the seasonal Snowdrops and Daffodils bloom while children can follow the trail of 72 life-sized dinosaurs through the wilderness garden. The Adventure Playground with Fort Knebworth will remain closed to all visitors at this time, updates of any changes will be available on their website.
Pre-booking online is essential at this time with staggered time-slots of 10am – 1pm, 11am – 2pm, 12pm – 3pm and 1pm – 4pm available for access to the Formal Gardens and Dinosaur Trail. Season Ticket holders & Historic Houses members are not required to pre-book before arrival. Paying ticketed visitors are welcome to use the Parkland for walks outside of their allotted Garden time-slot between 10am – 4pm.
