Towneley Hall
can anyone shed any light on why they have started charging an entry fee, but its free if you live in Burnley???
Towneley Hall is open from 12-5pm Saturday to Thursday, closed Fridays and is free to Burnley residents. The park is open until dusk everyday. my dad went today and a woman tried to charge him £3.50 to get in, thats no way to get tourists in is it??

Re: Towneley Hall
That's a shame I like dropping in there a lot in the summer, how much are they charging, and how do they know who is from Burnley.
I shall just stop going in if it is too much and just have a mooch round the garden.

Re: Towneley Hall
just been talking about this on accyweb, its £3.50 each to get in, and they ask you for your address and postcode before you can get in free (as a Burnley resident)

Re: Towneley Hall
Am I right in thinking they've started charging for parking now as well? I think they are shooting themselves in the foot with this one, I think they would like to charge residents if they could but would not get away with it.
Sounds like it would alienate visitors from other areas asking for a Burnley postcode...."You're not from round here, pay up!"

Re: Towneley Hall
That's a classic lesson in how not to attract visitors.

Re: Towneley Hall
they started that at a lot of the London museums, people just stopped going, so they dropped it again.

Re: Towneley Hall
The council held a questionnaire last year and parking fees were not well liked so they said they would not be introduced but the area near the hall has been all marked out and a £60 fine if you do not park in the marked bays, I also believe that parking fees will start in June. Regular visitors will be able to get a season ticket for £40 but this does not guarantee you a parking place.

Re: Towneley Hall
Why would you want a season ticket? Are they hoping that people will want to go every week?
