The whole site will be joining in with the bluebell theme. Pay a visit to the shop to see our brand new range of bespoke bluebell bags and tea towels as well as beautiful mugs, greeting cards, postcards and even English bluebell bulbs for you to take home and plant for next year. The restaurant will be selling special blueberry scones filled with cream and National Trust damson jam.
From Wed–Sun, explore the Hall and discover more about our collection as we explore the woodland indoors with a focus on all things blue. Don’t miss a rare opportunity to see the Watt China on display.
