During our open season, there is plenty to see & do at Peckover...

What's on at Peckover this season?

Spring is springing here in the gardens at Peckover. The snowdrops have now come to an end but the hellabores are still looking glorious and there are an abundance of tuips and daffodil stems now making there way up through the soil. Before too long the blossom will cover the pear trees too, and the spring season will be a riot of colour paving the way for a vibrant summer of flowers, colours and smells.

This Easter you'll find an action packed Easter Adventure Trail from Friday 3 through Monday 6 April too! Trail entry is £3.50 per adventurer, and enry to the gardens is free for everyone. Standard admission charges apply for the house, with National Trust members free.

Do keep an eye on our website pages for details of all upcoming events.
