As from today, 23rd March, Kelburn Country Centre will be closed until further notice in line with Government recommendations and the safety of the public. All car parks will be locked and we ask any walkers to refrain from accessing the country centre area and the residential homes.
Our Easter program has taken into consideration the public concern for Coronavirus.
At this time we are monitoring guidelines from government and industry. We certainly hope to welcome many of you to Kelburn this Easter and we will keep updating you via the webpage and facebook. In terms of prebought tickets please hold off contacting us as we will contact you directly with any significant changes. Kelburn is well placed to provide an outdoor experience, and have a creative offering which avoids queing and group activities. Onsite, we have hand washing facilities and a regular cleaning schedule in place. (posted 18th March, 1630hrs by Jo Turner Centre Manager)

ABOUT KELBURN ESTATE
Based around a 13th Century castle that’s had an amazing makeover courtesy of a team of Brazilian artists, the estate near Largs, Ayrshire also features dramatic walks, breathtaking gardens and many features of historical interest. Kelburn Castle is currently having restoration work carried out. Elements of this project will be concluded later this year and will help preserve the Castle for many years to come. The work includes re-roofing the building and doing internal structural works. The owners have funded this project and received support from Historic Environment Scotland due to the Castle’s historic importance. Some 2000 acres is rough moorland, and 1500 acres of the better land is contained within a 7ft wall that encircles the heart of the estate.
