Festival of Blossom at Calke Abbey

Celebrate the joy of blossom at Calke Abbey between March and May.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

The arrival of blossom is one of the most delightful moments in spring, as swathes of pink and white brighten the estate.

Admire blossom in the park and gardens and take part in a range of free activities between March and May. Create a blossom badge or write your own blossom haiku in the Stableyards. Then venture up to the Pleasure Grounds to enjoy blossom poetry written by Calke's volunteers.

Travel underground and take in a special display of blossom in the tunnels until 30 April between 11am and 4pm.

Or join a guided walk on 3 April to discover what blossom you can find around the estate. Search 'Blooming blossom walk at Calke' to book your place.
