Winter has been long and wet, so spring is a little later in arriving this year, but it's definitely making an appearance now. Read on to discover where the best splashes of spring colour are and what plants are at their best during April and May.

Join us this spring as we reopen the doors of Speke Hall and reveal the tragic life of Ada Watt and the legacy left by her short time living here. There'll be a focus on all things Gothic, including the literature that Ada loved and the influence it had on her restoration of the hall.

Join us for a fascinating series of talks about all things Gothic, delivered by lecturers from Manchester Metropolitan University. Discover how Gothic spaces and places are explored in fiction, the creation of "fake" Gothic furniture, how the voices of ghosts and monsters resound through Gothic literature and how Harriet Becher Stowe's writings fit this genre.
