Visit to Burghley House

Non members £66

Following members requests we are returning to Burghley House, this time with more emphasis on the artwork and a guided tour of the garden.  In July we are hoping for good weather as the gardens will be at their best.  If you would like to see pictures of our previous sold-out tour please take a look at our website gallery https://essexwi.org.uk/wi-gallery/ and scroll down to March 2023.

You will receive a tea/coffee on arrival and then split into smaller groups for house and garden tours.  

You can bring your own packed lunch or buy lunch from various eateries on site.  Please note that the venue is CASHLESS so please bring credit cards if you wish to make any purchases.

The coach will leave WI Centre, Whitelands, Terling Road, Hatfield Peverel, CM3 2AG at 8am sharp and return around 6pm depending on traffic.  Please ensure that you arrive in good time for departure.  The office will be open for using the facilities before you depart.  There is an electronic barrier at the entrance to our estate which will open automatically as you approach it.  Please car share where possible.

Accessibility

This event will involve a coach journey, a tour of the house and gardens.  
The Porter on duty (or stairlift trained member of the Burghley team) will be available on your visit to operate the Stannah stairlift.
There are a number of manual wheelchairs available for visitors to use during their visit to the House. These are available on a first come, first served basis but it is very rare that one will not be available on arrival.
The Gardens are mostly accessible to wheelchair users but please be aware that in the Sculpture Garden, the paths are gravel and some open areas of the Gardens are very uneven without pathways.
Both the Courtyard and Garden Shops have ramp access available. The Garden Café is on the ground floor.
Disabled toilet facilities are available in the Chestnut Courtyard close to the House entrance, at the Garden Café located next to the Gardens entrance.
