Lullingstone Castle is one of England’s oldest family estates, dating back to the time of Domesday. The World Garden combines plant heritage with cutting-edge horticulture.
We are invited to park inside the walled courtyard in front of the house!
The house and church will be closed but the garden is open.
Social distancing
We are still not out of lockdown. Please be sensible. Track-and-trace data is taken at the castle.

There is a small cafe at Lullingstone that serves sandwiches, cakes, and drinks. Sandwiches may be limited in number. All food is take away only. Please bring chairs/blankets/etc to set up by your car.
You are encouraged to bring your own picnic!
Parking
Enter through the front gates. I will help get you parked up in an attractive way for photos.

£10 per car to be paid upon entrance to the castle.
