Come and spy the first glimpse of spring as the snowdrops start to peek through the soil and provide a taste of what the change in season will bring over the coming weeks and months.

Snowdrops at Oxburgh Estate

Late winter and early spring at Oxburgh Estate is a natural wonder. Sweeping blankets of snowdrops offer visitors their first glimpse of the changing season as we look forward to welcoming spring in all of her glory.

As the spring season unfolds, aconites make their return, paving the way for a magnificent display of daffodils and the bluebells that soon follow. Through the formal gardens and across the wider estate, the new season awakens and brings with it a sense of new beginnings, intrigue, and wonder.

Throughout the season, the Servant’s Hall tearoom will be open and ready to welcome you for a warm drink, a fortifying lubch or a much loved scone. The courtyard shop will also be open showcasing a selection of spring plants, garden essentials and beautiful gifts.

In Oxburgh Hall itself, visitors can explore the new Regency Romance exhibition alongside the captivating history of the Bedingfeld family, including a 16thcentury priest hole, the captivating Oxburgh Hangings and an exquisite collection of wallpapers thought to be the most extensive in the National Trust today.

From weekends at the end of January and the beginning of February, we will be offering Snowdrop Tours across the estate. Details of how to view the snowdrops or book a tour are available here: Events at Oxburgh Estate
