Group Bookings

Should you wish to bring a group to Great Dixter, please telephone the office 01797 252878, ext. 2, or email groupbookings@greatdixter.co.uk to check availability. We will then send you our information sheets and a booking form. When you have completed the booking form, please return it to us with a £30.00 deposit (a cheque or bank card details are fine).

We will then confirm your booking in writing. Some coach companies may prefer to use a system of vouchers. We are happy to accept vouchers, but only within the United Kingdom, and we do have a handling charge of £10.00. Should a voucher payment not be forthcoming within 14 days, we will cancel any other bookings you may have made.

It is possible to book groups in at Great Dixter during times when we are closed to the general public. The rates for these times are shown below under the heading ’Out of normal opening times.’
