HAMPTON COURT IN Herefordshire, the main filming location for the last seven episodes of the first series of Survivors<\/em> and a regular travel destination for fans of the show, re-opens to visitors on Wednesday 8 July 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hampton Court estate has been closed to public access during the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions that were imposed towards the end of March. Lockdown meant that the estate remained shut even as its usual April opening date passed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 8 July, the estate will again open to visitors<\/a> (from Wednesday to Sunday each week).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE, 7 JULY<\/span><\/strong>: Details of exactly which facilities and services will be available, and what social distancing arrangements will be in place, have been published on the Hampton Court<\/a> site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary, the grounds and main garden will be accessible, and the Orangery restaurant will provide a limited menu of refreshments. However, the castle, the maze, the play areas, sunken garden and gift shop will all remain closed, in order not to conflict with social distancing and safety guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covid-19 Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are delighted to announce that we are reopening the majority of our gardens and grounds to visitors from Wednesday 8th July. Our new opening hours (until further notice) will be Wednesday – Sunday, 10.30am – 5pm.<\/p>

To keep within government guidelines, some areas are still closed for the time being, including: the maze, sunken garden, play areas, gift shop and the castle itself. These are areas where we feel that government safety guidance would be challenging to uphold.<\/p>

Due to this, entry prices in July have been reduced \u2013 adults \u00a36, children \u00a33 (4 -15 years) and under 4\u2019s are still free. At present, we won\u2019t be offering any other concessions, accepting discount vouchers or group bookings. We\u2019ll also only be taking card payments and encouraging contactless wherever possible.<\/p>

We are pleased to be able to open the Orangery Caf\u00e9, albeit with a limited menu and reduced indoor seating. There is plenty of outdoor seating available and visitors are welcome to bring their own refreshments.<\/p>

With regards to safety measures, we have implemented a one-way flow system in some areas of the gardens and staff have been issued with appropriate PPE. The cleaning of facilities has been increased to every hour and hand-sanitising points are available throughout the grounds. As these are new circumstances for all of us, then we would appreciate visitor feedback. Please speak to a member of staff during your visit or email us on hello@hamptoncourtcastle.co.uk<\/a> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
