You will be aware of the latest situation and advice from the UK Government on the Covid-19 virus and the effect this worsening situation is having on the country.
We have been following the Government’s advice, which is being updated on a daily basis and is changing rapidly. Taking into account the health and safety of our visitors, staff and contractors, together with the residents of Wilton and the wider areas, we have now taken the difficult but, we believe, correct decision to CANCEL THE OPENING OF THE HOUSE AND GROUNDS OVER THE EASTER PERIOD, ie. 5th – 19th APRIL, inclusive. This has not been an easy decision to take and I know people will be disappointed, but I hope you will understand the reasons for this decision. We will continue to monitor the position in respect of opening later in the season as the status of the pandemic alters and further advice and guidance is issued by the Government.
