We recommend that you book tickets in advance as each timed entry has a limited capacity, however on less busy days purchasing tickets on the gate is possible.

The ticket office will open at 9:30am every day with the first tour starting at 11.30am. We recommend arriving 10 minutes before your timed entry slot, allowing enough time to park, check-in at the ticket office and walk up the steep hill from the Main Car Park to the Castle (roughly takes 5-7 minutes).

As a historical building, access is unfortunately limited for visitors with pushchairs or limited mobility. We do not have lifts in place for wheelchair or pushchair users to visit above the ground floor, therefore disabled access is free along with half price for one carer. Please note that carers will have to present a valid proof of entitlement to DLA, PIP, Attendence Allowance or a valid Access Card to the Ticket Office.

Visitors with mobility issues are able to use our disabled drop off parking bays at the Castle to avoid a steep walk from the Car Park up to the Castle. Please check in at the Ticket Office in the Main Castle Car Park on arrival for a unique access code in order to drive up to the Castle.

For babies, we recommend using baby carriers as pushchairs can be hard to navigate in the castle. There is a ‘pushchair park’ located in the Porter’s Lodge. 

The Adventure Playground is set within a natural woodland, with some uneven ground and steps. However a wooden boardwalk, which reaches the top of the playground is accessible by wheelchair and pushchair, creating a fun and inclusive space for all of Belvoir’s visitors.

Although dogs on leads are welcome within Belvoir Castle grounds, dogs are NOT welcome within the Castle or Adventure Playground. Assistance dogs are welcome in the Castle.

Toilets can be found upon arrival at the Ticket Office, Gardens, and inside the Castle.

We recommend that the free-flow tour around the castle will take 30 – 90 minutes depending on dwell time and speed of visitors. Guided tours take anywhere between 90-120 minutes. You can spend the whole day wandering the gardens! There is not a cap on time allocation at the Adventure Playground, however re-entry is not permitted in any area.

There will be food and drink available from Vale View Cafe located in the Ticket Office car park, The Aviary Tearoom in the Castle (serving Afternoon Tea, light lunches and cakes), and The Belvoir Bistro at the Engine Yard. 

On busy days we have Outdoor Chalets located near the Castle doors serving hot food and drinks and the Old Servants Hall providing refreshments and snacks.

Picnics are welcome, but please note barbeques are strictly banned on the Belvoir Estate.

Yes. A full day pass can be purchased at the main castle car park for £2, which is redeemable against an entry ticket and at any of the Belvoir Restaurants/Cafe and Shops
