Important Information

We also offer a 24-hour cancellation policy with a full refund, so you don’t lose out if your plans change.

Stonehenge is open daily, except on Christmas Day, generally from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm. If visiting in the afternoon, ensure you have tickets and enter through the main entrance at least two hours before closing (usually by 3:00 pm) to gain access.

Your ticket to Stonehenge includes:

  • See the “Stonehenge Collection,” an indoor exhibition inside the world famous visitor centre
  • Take the free shuttle bus from the visitor centre to the Stones, a mile away. Many people do choose to walk this. 
  • Get up close to the Stones; the closest you can get is ten yards depending on where you are standing outside the stone circle
  • The Stonehenge Audio Guide – which is also available to download from the App store. 

If you do not purchase a ticket, you will still have access to the toilets, gift shop and café – but you won’t be able to view the visitor centre or get closer to the stones.

Why pre-book your tickets online?

Do I need a ticket to see Stonehenge?

You need book tickets to get anywhere near Stonehenge. You will need a ticket if you want to get within a few hundred yards and there is no way to gain free entry unless you are a National Trust member. The Stonehenge ticket doesn’t just give you access to see the Stones up close (within 10 yards) but also to the visitor centre where you can understand all you need to about the history of Stonehenge with their awarding-winning Stonehenge exhibition. 

Do I need to pre-book Stonehenge tickets?

You don’t need to pre-book; however, on some occasions, English Heritage has had to stop letting visitors without a pre-booked ticket in due to overcrowding. Therefore, we recommend that you pre-book your ticket if you get up close to the Stones and also visit the popular Stonehenge visitor centre

Can I skip the line if I pre-purchase online?

Buying online before you travel is a great way to save time standing in line on the day, and money. Not only will you avoid waiting in long lines on arrival at the ticket office, but you can also take advantage of discounted rates that are available when tickets are purchased in advance.

When you buy your ticket online, you are guaranteed a spot to visit the stone circle and can plan your day accordingly. By buying your Stonehenge entry online before you travel, you’ll be able to ensure you make the most out of your visit and have an enjoyable and stress-free experience.

Is access to the Visitor Centre included in the ticket price?

Yes! The Stonehenge visitor centre offers extensive information about the monument. Visitors can enjoy interactive displays, exhibitions, an outdoor gallery, and audio-visual presentations that tell the story of the ancient circle. A 360-degree virtual reality experience allows you to explore the site in all its glory. The centre also has a large gift shop, café, and educational activities perfect for families and school groups. Free audio guides provide an in-depth overview of the site’s history, mythology, and archaeology, all included in your entry ticket.

How long can I spend at Stonehenge?

When you visit, your ticket will have a pre-allocated 30-minute window for entry. Once inside, you can stay as long as you like. Spend time in the exhibition hall, enjoy the gift shop, relax in the café, or walk around the ancient stone circle. Remember, the final entrance is 2 hours before closing (usually 5 pm, so the last entry is at 3 pm).

Can you visit and walk around the Stones for free?

Unfortunately, free entry to Stonehenge is not possible. Stonehenge is owned by English Heritage and managed by the National Trust, and admission tickets are required for access to the site and go towards keeping the site running and sustainable for future generations.

It is important to be aware that you will still be about ten yards from the Stones unless you are on a private access early morning or late evening tour.

How can I get from London to Stonehenge with a tour company?

Many tour bus companies (including Premium Tours who we offer special discount Stonehenge tours) run trips from London to Stonehenge, including tickets into Stonehenge. You can do this as a group at a very reasonable rate, or alternately you can find specialised companies that run tours and bespoke trips and guides just for you – although these are far more expensive. 

Is there a discount for Students or Senior Citizens?

Discounts are available for students with an official student card and adults over 65 who wish to purchase Stonehenge tickets. The discount varies by supplier but is often in the region of 5%.

Do tickets include parking?

Tickets do not include the cost of a car parking space which you would need to buy separately on the day. However, there are not often issues with finding spaces in the car park due to many visitors coming by coach as part of many Stonehenge tour bus groups from London and across the UK. The car park is also just a short walk from the Stonehenge visitor centre.

Reviews from visitors who pre-purchased online…

Easy to book

I bought my tickets online a few weeks before travelling and it was easy. I even had to change the date without any problems and we loved the experience.

Great value

We wanted to visit Stonehenge on our way down to Devon and so we bought our tickets on the day. We saw loads, our kids loved the visitor centre the most.

So much to see

My husband and I have passed Stonehenge before by road and thought it was impressive. But finding out more about the history and seeing the exhibits were great.
