Bluebell Spectacular at Hole Park

About

A riot of Spring colour awaits visitors to our private gardens on April 1st, when we open our gates for your enjoyment for 2024. We are often described as a hidden gem and a tranquil escape!

Our private gardens will open to the public on Easter Monday 1st April 2024.

This year will also be the first opportunity for our visitors to see the impact of the impressive planting scheme in the new Centenary Walled Garden, following the completion of its hard landscaping last year.

Meanwhile our 10 acres of woodlands will be carpeted with wild primroses, wood anemones and bright blue scillas: the precursors to the emergence of our annual Bluebell Spectacular, one of Nature's most impressive shows as the woodland floor becomes a sea of violet-blue from mid-April to mid-May. Our website and social media "bluebell barometer" will show their progress. As the bluebells fade, the woodland valley is filled with a new spectacular sight – and scent – as the Wild Garlic comes into flower…
