Café and visitor centre seasonal opening hours

As autumn and winter approach, we want to let you know the seasonal opening hours for our community cafés and visitor centre.

As in previous years, our cafés will have reduced opening throughout the autumn and winter, and opening times will be earlier in line with daylight hours.

As last year, Boscombe Chine Gardens Café and mini golf will close during the winter months.

Kingfisher Barn Visitor Centre will also close for the winter, in line with seasonal flooding at the site and a lack of visitors during this period.

The Kingfisher Barn volunteer gardening club held outdoors at the site will run throughout, and maintenance of the area will remain with BCP Council. We will use the winter period to plan for the installation of raised vegetable beds to go alongside the new outdoor classroom, as well as future events and activities.

All four of our community cafés and Kingfisher Barn Visitor Centre will reopen seven days a week for the summer season from April 2025.
