On Saturday, 15 June 2024, we are delighted to welcome you back to the iconic grounds of White Lodge in the heart of Richmond Park for our PTA Summer Fair.
White Lode is home to our younger students and usually closed to the public. Don’t miss this chance to step inside the grounds of this remarkable historic site, see our students perform and enjoy a day of all the traditional fun of the fair.
How to get here
Address: White Lodge, Richmond Park, Richmond, Surrey, TW10 5HR, UK
Parking
White Lodge is located inside Richmond Park. Please use the Richmond gate entrance to Richmond Park which will be supervised to ensure only those attending the event drive through as the closures will be in place. You will be given instructions on how to proceed. As the park gets very busy at weekends, all drivers will need to have their hazard lights on and should respect the speed limit and other users on this shared space.
Proceed down the driveway until you get to a small roundabout. The designated parking area is on the rugby pitch to your right, at the bottom of the hill where White Lodge is situated, and you will be guided by marshals to your parking space. The price for a day parking is £5 and we accept cash and card. Please do not use any of the other gates to Richmond Park and do not park in any of the other carparks as this is a busy park open to the public.
As the White Lodge building is on a hill, minibuses will be available to take those who may struggle with the walk up the hill to White Lodge.
If on foot, please walk up the hill through the wooden gate and to the iron gate on your left. This is where you will need to join one of two queues – for prepaid tickets (please have a print out or email confirmation to hand) or for tickets on entry. We accept both cash and card payments.
