The house and garden at Ightham Mote are open from early spring to late autumn (8 March to 30 October 2005), from 10.30am to 5.30pm. The grounds are open from dawn to dusk all year round.

Although the house is the main attraction at Ightham, the garden has also been subject to a restoration programme since 1985. Medieval in layout, it is now primarily a reflection of the 19th century and the National Trust has taken its inspiration for planting from this period.

Free introductory talks lasting approximately 15 minutes are offered at set times displayed each day. Garden tours are also available as advertised. Children's and foreign guides are available, along with garden and estate leaflets, which include a range of beautiful walks. A Teacher's Resource Book is also available with helpful hints and ideas about how to use Ightham Mote on site and in the classroom for KS1 to 4 and above.
