Exciting Changes Underway: Our Gift Shop is Getting a Makeover!

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with our valued visitors: our beloved gift shop is currently under construction as part of much-needed repairs and upgrades! While we understand that this may cause some temporary inconvenience, we are confident that these improvements will create an even better shopping experience for everyone.

New Parking Directions & Admission Procedures

During the construction period, please follow all directional signage around our grounds to ensure you find the correct parking areas and avoid any restricted zones. Safety is our top priority, so certain areas will be closed off during this time. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep the site safe for all.

When it comes to paying admission fees, you have a couple of convenient options:

  1. Main House: Guests can pay admission fees directly at the main house upon arrival. Our friendly staff will be there to assist you.
  2. QR Code Scan: For those who prefer a contactless option, we’ve placed a QR code near the admission garden entrance (when available). A quick scan will allow you to pay your admission fee seamlessly.

Our Temporary Gift Shop Location: The Historic Heathcote House

In the meantime, our gift shop has been temporarily relocated to the charming and historic Heathcote House. This is a fantastic opportunity for guests to step inside this beautiful 102-year-old home, which is usually reserved for staff and volunteer offices. The Heathcote House is not only rich in history, but it also provides a unique and intimate setting for our temporary gift shop.

Inside, you’ll find a warm and welcoming space where you can browse through your favorite items and discover new treasures. Whether you’re looking for a special souvenir, a thoughtful gift, or simply want to explore, the relocated shop has something for everyone.

Thank You for Your Patience

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our visitors for their understanding and patience during this construction period. We know that changes like these can be a bit disruptive, but we are committed to ensuring that the end result will be worth it.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Historic Heathcote House and can’t wait to share the new and improved gift shop with you once the renovations are complete. Thank you for your continued support, and as always, thank you for visiting!
