The car parks are free. Cars may drop passengers in the Market Place and may find parking space there.

The Coach park is 800m away with an interesting walk between but closer drop-off is possible. Coaches will not be able to negotiate the tight turns but can unload in the High Street.

We hold the Good Journey Mark for welcoming car-free visitors. Travel a greener way and enjoy a £1 discount on entry. Plan your journey by train, bus, bike or foot at Good Journey.

The house, being old, has uneven floors, changes of level, narrow stairs and low beams. Visitors are recommended to be vigilant. Those who find the stairs impossible may see part of the upstairs on our CCTV and have an individual commentary from the guide. Wheelchair access is difficult, but we have in the past been able to give limited access to users of small or folding chairs.

There are many cafés, inns and first-rate restaurants in Lavenham. Sandwiches and drinks are available in several shops. There is a picnic and play area at the bottom of Water Street.
