Do you have to pay to walk around the park if you arrive by foot? Last time I visited the park was over two years ago and it was free except for the house, but now from the website I’m confused on how it works.

My friend and I had a very good time photographing the deer, and went into the garden gated area, expecting to pay there for the gardens same as last time we went before covid, but we were told that we must go back to the shop to get tickets, I am a long standing member my friends is not, but being in our late seventies, it was just too much walking for us and we sadly gave up on the garden walk. surely in this day and age you can do better.. than this primitive way, we cannot always remember things. Do you need to be so rigid? And why no machine at the small garden office,, come on folks.

Is Dunham Massey dog friendly?

I've seen people climbing over the styles to get into Dunham. How does it work for entry fees If people do this?

We'd like to cycle to Dunham Massey, as we live quite close. Are there bike racks? The website doesn't say.

Is it possible to visit the park/grounds, are they open during lockdown?

What is the best time of year to see the deer? Can you get close and feed them?

Do I have to book tickets if I want to go tomorrow

If I have a blue badge do I still have to pay for parking

For the Christmas lights, would you recommend wellies?
