Belton House temporarily closed as works for new car park continue




A local landmark is closed for the next two weeks as a new car park is created and other works are completed.

Belton House, including the Lion Gates, temporarily closed yesterday (Monday) until Friday September 15 due to car park and courtyard works.

Work began on the new “all-weather car park” in July, which was approved earlier this year.

Belton House and its grounds will be closed for two weeks in September for the improvement works to the car park.

The temporary closure will support the works and allow access work to be completed in the stable yard.

A spokesperson for Belton House said: “We're sorry for any inconvenience caused, and thank you for your understanding and patience.

“Please check the website or social media before travelling.”

The National Trust submitted the planning application in April of this year, relating to visitor access and parking improvements which could solve drainage issues in the car park.

The plans will also see electric vehicle charging points installed and also new accessible parking bays.

The existing visitor reception building will also be redeveloped into a new welcome and access hub with an accessible changing places toilet.

Once the works are complete, visitors will pay or show their membership cards at new in-vehicle admission points before parking.

Siobhán Scullion, visitor operations and experience manager, said: “I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and understanding in advance, as we work to make the arrival experience better for everyone.”
