Bradbourne Lakes in Sevenoaks

The popular Bradbourne Lakes area in Sevenoaks is set to receive a significant makeover.

Sevenoaks District Council has announced that the historic 300-year-old Bradbourne Lakes area will close to the public from 28 September

The parkland and lakes will be subject to major works, partially funded from lottery money, and are envisaged to re-open in the summer of 2027 for the public to once again enjoy.

Among the new and enhanced features will be fully accessible toilets with baby-changing facilities, a natural play area, and new bat and bird habitats.
