Kingston Lacy welcomes visitors with new facilities and a fresh look

After a year of changes, the National Trust’s Kingston Lacy estate has opened a new welcome area to make visits easier, more inclusive, and more enjoyable for everyone.

The new visitor reception, along with better accessibility and sustainability features, shows Kingston Lacy’s ongoing commitment to providing a great day out for all.

What’s new at Kingston Lacy

When you arrive at the Dorset estate, you’ll now find:

• A redesigned arrival area with a new reception building for easier check-ins and visitor information.
• An upgraded car park with better disabled bays and new EV charging points to support sustainable travel.
• Redesigned toilets, including family spaces, baby-changing stations, and an adult Changing Places toilet for full accessibility.
• A quiet room for anyone who needs a calm space, or a place to feed a baby.

The new facilities focus on accessibility, sustainability, and comfort. Whether you’re walking in the gardens, exploring the house, or meeting friends for coffee, the updated spaces are designed to make everyone feel welcome at Kingston Lacy.

“This project has transformed Kingston Lacy’s welcome with upgrades designed to make every visit easier. We’re grateful for your patience and hope to welcome you back soon to see what's new.”  - Tim Turner, General Manager at Kingston Lacy.

Now that the upgrades are finished, it’s a great time to visit Kingston Lacy and start your next National Trust adventure.
