Snowdrops
Run in conjunction with the RHS this is our most popular event when the gardens are carpeted in a spectacular display of snowdrops around the remains of the Norman Castle and surrounding moat. Masses of Hellebores flower with Aconites and winter flowering shrubs, plus coloured stems of Acers, Cornus and Willow around the lakes.
A collection of rare and unusual Snowdrops has been built up over the years many of which can be found growing in the borders, a labelled collection is kept in the walled Kitchen Garden and can be viewed by appointment or as part of a guided walk. Refreshments are available on weekdays and Saturdays in the gardens, on Sundays in the village hall ,or at the nearby public house "The Bell Inn".
