Opening hours
We are now open from February until December.
Please note that due to essential maintenance the Palace building is currently closed and will re-open at the end of April 2012. We've stripped the old carpet out of the Undercroft and installed underfloor heating and laid beautiful flagstone flooring, returning the Undercroft to it's original state - definitely worth the wait!
If you're visiting in the months of February, March and April you will still be able to enjoy the Bishop's Chapel, 14 acres of gardens, fun events, our new café, shop and stable yard area. You'll also leave with a half price voucher so you can come back after April when the Palace buildings are fully open again.
