More facilities at Houghton Hall with opening of new centre
A new visitor centre at Houghton Hall Park in Houghton Regis has opened thanks to a £2.1m National Lottery grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Big Lottery Fund, together with funding from Central Bedfordshire Council and Houghton Regis Town Council.
The centre is situated in the historic 18th century parkland of Houghton Hall.
The fully accessible centre has two meeting rooms, a discovery and learning corner, as well as a fully equipped café.
