Belton House near Grantham sold out as it prepares to reopen following lockdown
A National Trust site has already sold out of tickets for this week ahead of its Wednesday reopening.
Belton House, near Grantham, has implemented a ticketing system which allows visitors to book entry slots in order to ensure social distancing guidelines are followed when the grounds and gardens reopen on Wednesday (June 3).
The plans to reopen the gardens and parklands were announced last week, although the adventure playground, cafes and food outlets remain closed.
With the reopening set for Wednesday, all slots between June 3 and June 7 have sold out. Potential visitors will have the chance to book a slot on Friday for next week through the National Trust website
Guests must arrive within their allotted time slot but can stay as long as they like until closing time.
On its Facebook page, Belton House said: "Thanks to everyone who's booked to visit us next week. Belton is fully booked now, but please check back on Friday when new slots will be available.
"Thanks for helping us make sure everyone can visit safely."
Belton House closed to visitors on March 22 to prevent the spread of coronavirus, while Woolsthorpe Manor, another National Trust site in the area, remains closed.
