Lakes and Lilies Festival
Our picturesque lakes burst with colour during the summer. From the jewel-like waterlilies to swathes of wildflowers or the explosions of colour from the rhododendrons. There is something for everybody!
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
The waterlilies take centre stage from the 13th of June. Experience a 360° view of the blooms from the floating pontoon and look out for waterlilies in different shades and colours, from buttery yellow to deep pink. You may even spot a dragonfly or two darting across the water. The Lakes and Lilies Festival is full of engaging workshops, activities, and trails, so please keep an eye on our events page throughout the summer, with activities for all-ages.
