Willistead Manor’s main courtyard is currently undergoing a full restoration. The work includes tearing up the temporary concrete courtyard that was poured during 2018 restoration work, and removing the accessible ramp contained within the courtyard. During this important restoration project, the main courtyard and main entrance to Willistead Manor are closed and inaccessible. During this time, access for events is through the Paul Martin Gardens by way of the pathways in Willistead Park. The Paul Martin Gardens include an accessible ramp.
