Bluebell Walks 2026
Join our ranger for a gentle stroll around the bluebells in Osterley's garden and learn more about them. Normal admission to the House & Gardens applies in order to take part in the walk.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Enjoy a gentle walk around the Long Walk and experience the beautiful bluebells. Accompanied by our ranger, you can learn all about the folklore and history of iconic flowers, and experience the sights, sounds and smells of spring.
Known symbolically for humility and gratitude, the return of these spring flowers is a perfect opportunity to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the natural world.
This symbolism is appropriate as we prepare for the celebration of Eid al-Adha, a festival that emphasises gratitude, humility, compassion and generosity.
Walks will take place on Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th April. There will be two walks each day, one from 11am-12pm, and one from 1pm-2pm. The walks will take around an hour, allowing for a relaxed pace around the mile-long walk. The meeting point will be at the ticket kiosk at the side of the house.
Normal admission applies (tickets are sold as a joint House and Garden ticket only and not separate) unless visiting with an access pass, membership or as an essential companion. General garden entry is 10am - 4pm (last entry), with garden then closing at 5pm.
If you would like to, please give a further donation at the Kiosk towards our Eid celebration on 7th June. Every donation will help to support this community event in West London.
