As we're usually closed at this time of year, the spectacular snowdrop displays in the woodland are often only seen by the team. Here's your chance to visit whilst they're at their most brilliant; we'll be open each weekend in February. Wander down to the working watermill and see the progress being made in bringing the second waterwheel back to life. The gardens will be open, and the second-hand bookshop will be holding vintage book sales. In the courtyard, Lakeland Coffee will be offering coffee and cake. Pre-booking is advised.

This event is free for National Trust members but we still advise you to reserve a ticket. Please also remember to bring your card on the day.

Discover a secret spectacle in the woodlands at Acorn Bank this winter.

Snowdrop Weekends

The foraging course begins with a short introduction on foraging, a talk about Wild Food UK’s Foraging Code with a brief summary of the Countryside Act. Then take a slow walk around Acorn Bank’s estate, learning to identify the different plants, flowers, fruits and mushrooms you might find. 

Along the way, there will be the chance to stop for seasonal homemade refreshments such as Wild Food UK’s wild sorrel soup, elderflower champagne or fruit leathers. End the day with a tasty wild food lunch based on what’s been found throughout the day. Wild Food UK's homemade food is seasonal, so for these courses the meal will be built around lovely spring greens.
