COVID-19 Update: The Deer Barn (10am-5pm daily) and Conservatory Tearooms  (10am-5pm weekends only) are open for take out only, with a reduced range of pre-packed food and drinks, all in disposable containers.  The menu may alter due to availability of items. Venison can be purchased at both Tearooms or be ordered over the phone from our Estate Office for collection at Tearooms. ** Please note that if the park is quiet or the weather is wet and cold we may close earlier. **

The Bradgate Park Trust provides two Tearooms to be enjoyed by visitors. The Conservatory Tearoom, situated in the garden area adjacent to our Newtown Linford car park and the Deer Barn Tearoom located in the middle of the Park next to the Visitor Centre.

Conservatory Tearoom -  Take out only currently at weekends

Our Conservatory Tearoom is located in the garden adjacent to the main car park at Newtown Linford. Entrances can be found by the blue Police Box and over the wooden bridge. The Conservatory Tearoom is also one of our two on-site outlets offering venison products (when available in season).

Whilst at the Conservatory Tearoom don't forget to have a visit to our Bradgate Park Shop, located in the adjoining 300 year old Cottage.

Ice Cream

As well as being able to buy ice creams in our Tearooms, Bradgate Park is also home to Alonzi's Ice cream who have been serving visitors to the Park for over 20 years, under licence. Their team has ice cream vans at busy periods at Hallgates (Cropston) and Hunts Hill (Old John) car parks. Within the Park their popular Ice Cream Tricycles stop along the carriageway at busy periods and school holidays. They also join major events in the Ruins and wider Park.

Bradgate Park Shop - Re opens 17th April, weekends only

Our Shop can be found at Newtown Linford, within the historic Marion's Cottage, adjacent to the Conservatory Tearoom. The Shop is open the same hours as the Conservatory Tearoom. 

Here you will find a wide variety of quality gifts, bespoke Bradgate Park items, souvenirs, and a range of books about Lady Jane Grey, local and natural history. There are also plenty of items (such as pond dipping nets, duck food, trails and booklets that will help add to your visit to Bradgate Park, including a pack for our Orienteering Trail that helps you explore the whole of the Park.)

The Shop also carries a small stock of Bradgate Park charcoal and net bags of logs and kindling. These are made as by-products of our Estate work. All income from these helps in our work to conserve and maintain the historic landscape of Bradgate Park and Swithland Wood.

Picnics

As well as at our Tearooms, there are plenty of places to enjoy picnics when visiting Bradgate Park, with picnic tables located near to our three car parks and just off the main carriage way. Please do remember if you are bringing a picnic to clear up after your visit, take your litter home, or use the general waste and recycling bins provided. Please do not feed the wildlife.
