Burton at Bideford external building imageThe Burton at Bideford is trialling a new approach to opening hours for 2025.

From 6 January we will be closed on Mondays, but will open for 1 hour longer each day Tuesday to Saturday.

Our new opening hours are:

Monday: closed (Café du Parc open as normal)

Tuesday to Saturday: 10am – 5pm

Sunday: 11am – 4pm

This change in our opening hours allows The Burton to better align with busy visitor times, giving us an opportunity to explore new programmes for families after school and for groups who need a quieter setting for their visit.

Our Monday closure will also enable essential Collections care, building maintenance and staff training to take place, ensuring we can continue to provide you with the best experience for your visit to us.

Café du Parc will remain open on Mondays, offering drinks, cakes and a lunch menu. You can follow Café du Parc on their Facebook page.

Our new hours see us open to the public for almost the same number of hours per week, but bring us in line with many other cultural venues across the South West which close on Sunday and/or Monday. We will be monitoring how the trial goes through 2025 and welcome visitor feedback during this time.
