We’ve got lots to offer at Walton Hall and Gardens so make sure you plan your visit and make the most of our facilities whilst you’re here. You do not need to book to visit us and our park is free to enter, just turn up and pay for parking!
Remember we’re dog-friendly too so bring your four legged friends with you and let them explore our gardens, but we do ask that they not go into the children’s zoo as some of the animals are a little worried by them.

To prevent congregating at the pay and display machines, plan your visit by downloading the Ringo App to pay for your car parking. If you have difficulty in doing this you can call 01925 950 080. The site location number is 18157.
Please note, pre-paying for your parking via the app will not guarantee you a space on arrival, so we advise you only pay for your parking once you have parked up safely on site.
