Statement on coronavirus from The Yorkshire Arboretum

To all our visitors,

In light of the uncertainties we face with the outbreak of COVID-19, we want to reassure you the Yorkshire Arboretum is taking all precautions necessary to help keep you, our visitors, and our employees safe and healthy. The Yorkshire Arboretum is fortunate to be an outdoor attraction, where fresh air, open spaces and natural tranquillity can still be enjoyed by all. Our 120 acres are yours to explore – stroll through the trees or round the lake, catch the first signs of spring, or even try to spot the local wildlife! The arboretum can be accessed from the members’ gate to the left of the Visitor Centre, 10am-3pm.

Until further notice, the arboretum is open FREE TO ALL. If you would like to contribute, we suggest a £5 donation, but anything you can give will make a difference to our long term survival at this difficult time for everyone. An honesty box will be fixed to the members’ gate over the next week, and a QR code will be available to scan if you would like to give digitally. If you would like to donate online, please follow the link below.

Our visitors’ wellbeing is our top priority, and we want you to feel confident that we are doing everything we can to ensure your safety.

-        The Visitor Centre, including the toilets, is closed until further notice

-        The Arboretum Café is closed until further notice

-        For your safety, a member of staff will be on site at and available in the Visitor Centre or Cabin Office

We want to continue giving you a safe, enjoyable and calming environment to visit. The Yorkshire Arboretum is a special place, and is still yours to explore.

Thank you

The Yorkshire Arboretum team
