FAQs
Is there parking on site?
Wilton House has its own secure car park with free parking. As the estate is closed to the public during A Walk to Remember, we do not anticipate any parking shortage so there will be plenty of space.
Pay and display parking is also available a short distance away at the Wilton Shopping Village.
Are there toilets available?
Yes, there are toilet facilities available next to the cafe within the grounds.
Baby changing and disabled facilities are also available.
Will the Walk go ahead in bad weather?
While we're not scared of a bit of bad weather, we regularly consult weather forecasts in the run up to the big day in order to ensure we can operate safely.
Any updates about the day relating to weather will be sent out via email and made available on our channels as soon as we have them.
Please ensure you dress appropriately for the weather!
Are the routes accessibility friendly?
Our one-mile Wilton Garden Walk route is suitable for prams and sturdy wheelchairs at the users' discretion.
Due to the nature of the 5.5 mile Wilton Estate Circuit, this route is unsuitable for both prams and wheelchairs as it involves hill climbing, tricky terrain and trip hazards. Participation in this route is down to the discretion of the individual to assess their suitability.
Will there be food and drink to purchase?
Yes!
There will be bacon butties before we set off as well as a wide variety of cakes and savouries to refuel when you have completed your walk. There will also be both hot and cold drinks available for purchase.
