Annual Car Pass terms and conditions
Displaying the Car Pass
The customer is responsible for ensuring a valid car pass is clearly displayed on the front windscreen on the passenger side, so that details are clearly visible from the front of the vehicle. Failure to display a valid car pass will result in a parking charge notice. A valid car pass allows the pass holder to park only in the car park that the car pass was issued for (or an overflow parking facility when in operation). In addition, our Estate Annual Car Pass includes Wells Beach Road Car Park, Lady Anne’s Drive Car Park for Holkham Beach, Wells Town Car Park in Wells-Next-The-Sea and Holkham Village Car Park, plus parking in Holkham Park with unlimited standard admission to Holkham Hall, Holkham Stories and Walled Garden during the visitor season for a family of two adults and up to three children. To qualify for admission to Holkham Hall, an ID card must be obtained from our Visitor Reception prior to entry. Parking in a car park with a car pass for a different car park, and not displaying a valid ticket will result in a parking charge notice.
Losing your Car Pass
If you lose your car park pass please report to the Visitor Reception and a replacement will be provided at an administration cost of £20.00 each and your old car pass will be cancelled and rendered invalid. This fee is non-negotiable and must be paid.
Change of Details
If you change your car and/or vehicle registration a replacement pass will be provided, in return for your old car pass, which will be cancelled and rendered invalid. The old car pass must be returned to the Visitor Reception with the details of the new car and/or vehicle registration, so we can update our records.
Validation of the Car Pass
Your car pass will be rendered invalid if:
1. The pass has been altered or a copy has been made – only the original car pass is valid and should be displayed.
2. The pass is not clearly displayed in the front windscreen on the passenger’s side.
3. The pass is not in date – the pass is valid from 1st January to 31st December 2025 inclusive.
4. The pass is faded or unreadable (you must seek a replacement. A replacement will be free of charge in the first instance provided the original pass is returned to the Visitor Reception).
5. The pass is displayed in a vehicle and the vehicle details have not been registered with Holkham Enterprises – it is non-transferrable to any vehicle including rental / courtesy cars.
As a result of presenting an invalid car pass, a parking charge notice of £50 will be issued and may lead to Holkham taking action against the vehicle owner for fraud. Passes are valid when an overflow car park is in operation.
Access and Space Allocation
There may be unforeseen times when one or all car parks may need to be closed. This may be due to the car parks being full or for safety and security reasons. A valid car pass does not guarantee access or reserve a space for the pass holder’s vehicle in any car park. Parking is based on a ‘first come, first park’ principle.
The park and attractions may be closed for operational reasons or filming and entry may be refused

Holkham Estate Drone Policy

We will not grant permission to fly for amateur or student filming or approve requests from any fliers who seek permission in return for access and use of the footage obtained. The use of UAVs or drones is not permitted on or over any Holkham land without prior written approval. If use is approved by Holkham Estate then the following conditions will apply.

A current and valid CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) ‘Permission for Commercial Operations’ (PFCO) licence.
Evidence of valid insurance cover with a minimum of £5million cover.
A risk assessment for the proposed flight.
A method statement outlining what equipment will be used.
A flight plan outlining where flying is proposed.
All drone operations must be conducted strictly in accordance with CAA legislation and regulations, two elements to draw attention to below:
UAVs/drones are not permitted to be flown within 50 metres of any vessel, vehicle or structure which is not under the control of the person in charge of the aircraft.
UAVs/drones should not be flown within 50 metres of any person except during take-off or landing or within 30 metres of any person except for the person in charge of the aircraft.
