Important information before you visit
* An update from Thorp Perrow* 6th January 2021
🌿 During this difficult time and current lock down we have made the decision to keep the Arboretum open.
🌿 The Bird of Prey centre will remain closed but the playground is open as well as the tearoom offering a take-away service. The loos will also be accessible.
🌿 The ticket prices will be reduced to reflect the above and everyone including ST holders must pre-book via our website.
🌿 We believe that keeping the gardens open is in the best interest for our visitors but we ask that you are respectful of all the current guidelines and follow the policies we have put in place.
🌿 Although our office team are working at limited capacity we will do our very best to answer any queries you may have on enquiries@thorpperrow.com
Stay well, stay safe – from all at Thorp Perrow
