No, but if you are planning a large gathering such as a party, sporting presentation or other function, we recommend you do. This allows us to help your guests find you, or if there are issues such as the Garden needing to close, we can let you know beforehand, so you can tell your guests of the change.
If you are only a small group coming in for a picnic, when you arrive, please make sure the shelter you are using isn’t booked (they have signs on them). If the shelter is free, you must share it with other members of the public. The only time you can have a shelter exclusively to yourself, is if you have booked it.
To book a shelter or site,
