Group and school visits to Charlecote Park

Group visits

Charlecote Park is open all year round with plenty to see and do in all seasons. If you’re interested in booking a group visit, we offer a discounted rate for groups of 15+ visitors.

Your visit will be self-guided, but our friendly and experienced volunteers will be happy to answer your questions as you explore Charlecote. 

Please note we are carefully managing the number of group visits to ensure you have the best visit possible. This is due to several conservation and improvement projects taking place at Charlecote this year, which may mean that some areas are closed at short notice.

Visiting the house

The five downstairs rooms of the house are open seven days a week from 11am - 3:30pm (last entry 3pm). On weekends, access to the house is by timed tickets. These can be collected on a first come first served basis at the Visitor Rception.

Chat to our team when booking your visit to ask us about your group going into the house together, or potentially across several time slots. 

How to book group visits

Please email charlecote.park@nationaltrust.org.uk or call 01789 470277 to check availability for the date of your visit, at least one calendar month in advance. All group visits must be booked in advance.

Weekends are very busy at Charlecote, and we recommend booking your group visit for a weekday instead. Please note that we do not accept group bookings on Bank Holidays.

Once you've enquired, we’ll send you a booking form to complete – please return this as soon as possible, as we cannot confirm your booking until this is received.

Groups that have not pre-booked are not eligible for group rates and may be turned away. This applies to groups arriving by coach, minibus or several cars.

Refreshments during your visit

At least one of our three food and beverage outlets will be open for your visit. 

The Orangery restaurant offers hot meals and light bites, and can seat 60 indoors and 40 outside. The Wood Yard café offers sandwiches, cakes, ice creams and hot and cold drinks, with indoor and outdoor seating available. The kiosk in the Stables Garden is open on busy days, and offers hot drinks and cakes to take away, with plenty of picnic benches nearby to sit, eat and enjoy the views across the river. 

We ask that larger groups stagger their lunch times to avoid long queues. Unfortunately, we’re not able to book tables in advance.

You are also welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy in the parkland all year round.
