Swindon’s Conservative Council Introduces Massive Increase in Lydiard House Admission Charges

Local Councillor, Cindy Matthews, has expressed strong concerns regarding Swindon Council’s plan to increase charges for residents wanting to visit Lydiard House & Gardens. 

Local Councillor, Cindy Matthews, has expressed strong concerns regarding Swindon Council’s plan to increase charges for residents wanting to visit Lydiard House & Gardens. The Council has proposed increases of:

  • 38.3% for adults, proposing to charge £6.50
  • 52.2% for children, proposing to charge £3.50
  • 50% for families with 2 children, proposing to charge £18

Cindy said “I am very worried that this is counter-productive and will reduce the numbers of those visiting Lydiard. We should be encouraging families to visit our local heritage.”
