The motor museum, wildfowl sactuary and manor House are plenty to occupy a whole day and the wildfowl sactuary is truly remarkable. More

We brought some friedns here in the winter and hasd a olovely time walking round the wildfowl area. The staff in the shhhop were very helpful and got us a motorised cart for my very elderly father so we could do a bit more than we would otherwise have been able to. The enrtrance fee is quite expensive and it... More

We spend a day at Bentley over the Easter Holidays with three children ranging in ages for 2 - 10. Our 10 year old enjoyed the car museum whilst the younger two enjoyed the outdoor spaces. We took a picnic as we know from experience that the food at these sort of attractions is overpriced and underwhelming. We had a... More

Lots to do,a classic car showroom,gardens,wildfowl trail and picnic areas,.There is a cafe that sells great jacket potatoes and cakes or take your own and sit amongst the wildlife.The Manor house is worth a look and venture into the woods to see some Saxon mud huts that are fun to go into.Not much indoors so choose your day !

All I can say is what a rip off. I saw an advert for this show at Bentley in the Sussex express and it quoted having militria stalls, a selection of Emerency Service and Military Vehicles and also track vehicle rides, well that was exageration. Bearing in mind I have an 8yo child so the house etc wasn't the reason... More

Ok I know it has been about 20 years since I have been there and because my partner had never been it was somewhere to try. Looked it up on the internet and planed it out, we didn't want to take the car to it was public transport - No problem as their site said there was even a free... More

I agree with the review below that said the "no touch" policy was frustrating for kids - a couple of hands... More
