Find Out MoreDue to forecast severe weather this weekend, we've made the difficult decision to amend our opening hours to protect the safety of our visitors, teams and site.
Friday 23 October: Closing at 4pm
Saturday 24 October: Open 10am-2pm. Our Wedding Fair will go ahead as planned, however The Treehouse will be closed all day.
Sunday 25 October: Closed.
Unfortunately, this also means that Spookydorei Nights, evening restaurant bookings in The Treehouse, and all scheduled evening events, including A Traitor Among Us, have been cancelled.
If you have pre-booked tickets, event places or Afternoon Tea reservations, our team will contact you directly by email today with information about your options.
We know this may be disappointing and we'd like to thank you for your understanding. We never take the decision to close lightly, but the safety of our visitors and staff must always come first.
We look forward to welcoming you back very soon.
The Alnwick Garden and Lilidorei Team
