Stonehenge exhibition and visitor centre opened
December 2013. This is the first phase in English Heritage’s £27
million project to transform the visitor experience.
Visitors will now be able to see original objects used in the construction of Stonehenge, alongside other objects connected with the Neolithic and Bronze Age eras. A special exhibition tells the story of the changing understanding of Stonehenge over centuries. A 360-degree virtual experience allows visitors to ‘stand in the stones’ via a three-minute film, based on state-of-the-art laser scan images of the stone circle. This film will also transport the viewer back in time through the millennia and enable them to experience the summer and winter solstices. Work to demolish the existing facilities and car park and return the area to grass will begin imminently. The restoration of the landscape around Stonehenge will be completed by the summer of 2014.
For visits from the 1st February 2014, entrance to Stonehenge will be managed through timed tickets and advance booking is recommended. For opening hours and online booking, visit the English Heritage website here
