Bee Amazed | May Half Term at Blickling Estate

Bee Amazed this May half term and learn more about bees as you follow our family trail through the garden.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Find out why bees buzz, how fast they fly and why they're so good at spotting pollen across eight trail points throughout the garden. With fun activities to do along the way, the whole family will be entertained as you explore this half term holiday.

Buzzy balance Bike sessions Little ones (aimed at 3 to 5 year olds) can test their skills on the balance bike course in the garden on Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 May between 10.30am – 3.30pm. Balance bikes are so much fun and a great starter bike for young children, before they progress to a bike with pedals!

As the trail and balance bike sessions take place in the garden, standard admission charges apply, with free entry for National Trust members and children under 5 years old. Assistance dogs only. No pre-booking required.
