Visitor Opening Times (Updated 4th January 2022)

Refreshments are available from the Snack Shack 7 days a week, 10am – 3pm.

Due to ongoing staff shortages, we are unable to open the Visitor Centre.

Stanwick Lakes’ outdoor facilities including the car park, outdoor toilets, BBQ area, play areas including waterplay, assault course, adventure trail and adventure playground are all open.

If you are trying to contact us please be aware we have a reduced number of staff working, so our response to emails, social media, voicemails etc may take a little longer. Thank you for your patience.

The site is open from 7am – 5pm. Cars left in the car park after this time risk being locked in overnight.

The postcode for Sat Nav directions is NN9 6GY

Coach Parking Charges

There is limited parking for coaches for which there is a charge of £30 per coach. (Please note that anything larger than an 18 seater is classed as a coach.) This is effectively an admission charge for use of the facilities, and it applies whether large groups are dropped off or the coach stays on site. Please contact the Rangers (01933 625522) in advance to book a coach parking space.
