    RHS Harlow Carr has seen a spike in demand for places at its gardens ahead of reopening on Monday.

    The RHS saw delays on its online booking system yesterday as a high volume of people flocked to the website to book spaces to its gardens.

    The gardens will be open from 10am until 4pm, but people must pre-book a space in order to limit the amount of people attending.

    Safety measures will also be in place including floor markings for social distancing, screens at the checkouts, hand sanitiser for visitors and staff and a no cash policy.

    A statement on the RHS Gardens website said:

    “Our foremost priority remains the health and safety of our members, visitors and staff and we will do everything possible to ensure all government social distancing measures are followed.
    “All visitors will be required to pre-book a timed entry slot in advance of their visit and visitor numbers entering the gardens will be limited.”


    Meanwhile, National Trust attractions in the Harrogate district will remain closed this weekend.

    It means that Brimham Rocks and Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden, Ripon, will not be open for people to travel to as the trust plans a gradual reopening of its attractions in the coming weeks.



    The National Trust is set to reopen some of its smaller gardens and parklands from June 3 and advanced bookings will be required to maintain public safety.

    Newby Hall and Gardens, Ripon, will remain closed to visitors. A statement on its website said it was working hard to reopen "as soon as possible".

    Further afield, Bolton Abbey Estate reported that it sold out tickets for the estate yesterday and urged people not to visit.
