The current official opening-times page shows ticket office 09:00-16:00, gardens/grounds and Skelf Island 10:00-17:00 with last entry 16:00, and house 10:00-16:00 with last entry 15:00. The house is also listed as closed on 1 May, 12-15 May, 19 May and 29 September 2026, with last house admission on 12 June 2026 at 14:00.
Admission
The checked official page clearly exposes ticket products and live booking links but does not surface the standard House/Gardens adult price as crawlable text. It does confirm that Max Card and Universal Credit tickets are GBP 4 online or GBP 4.50 at the ticket office, and that student discounts and Art Fund 50 percent discounts exist.
