Celebrating blossom at Brockhampton
Throughout spring we are celebrating the blossoming orchards at Brockhampton with trails, spotting sheets, and creative activities in the manor house.
Blossom watch
Keep an eye on our social channels to see when blossom bursts. In March it's in bud form and when it bursts to full bloom depends on the weather. @NTBrockhampton on Facebook and @nt_brockhampton on Instagram.
Brockhampton is home to the largest orchards cared for by the National Trust, making it the perfect place to enjoy the spectacular displays of blossom during the spring. With 3km of accessible paths, natural play in the orchard rooms, and hammocks that swing beneath the branches, there is a way for everyone to enjoy the beauty of blossom in the reimagined orchards at Brockhampton.
Festival of Blossom
Friday 20 March to Friday 29 May 2026 - 10am to 5pm - (The trail is unavailable during the Easter holidays, 28 March–12 April.)
Celebrate the arrival of spring and immerse yourself in the beauty of Brockhampton’s blossom‑filled orchard. Settle into the hammocks that sway beneath the trees and soak up the joys of the season.
From the spring equinox, we’ll be celebrating the beauty of blossom and encouraging visitors to explore the orchards and take a mindful moment in nature.

'Reimagining' the lost orchards project
From 2019 to 2022, we worked with our local community to restore three lost orchards at Brockhampton. Across 21 acres, over 700 trees have been planted, including field maple, hazel, elder and blackthorn, as well as many varieties of apple, damson, pear, plum and quince. Each one has been chosen to provide the best ecological mix for pollination and habitat development to encourage the orchard to establish, grow and flourish.
How we've celebrated blossom in partnership with artists and communities
In 2023, we worked in partnership with Salt Road's We Foragers Unquiet, an artist-led programme funded by Arts Council England, which featured 11 artists creating artworks, workshops and exhibitions exploring the orchards and the importance of biodiversity. This partnership also welcomed community groups from Birmingham and Hereford to Brockhampton, with the aim of to introducing more urban audiences to the estate.
We continued our partnership with Salt Road in 2024, once again encouraging visitors to connect with our orchard landscape and create their own artisitc responses to these priortiy habitats.
Salt Road and Brockhampton expanded and strengthened the relationships developed during 2023's We Foragers Unquiet programme. They introduced more community groups to the outdoor spaces at Brockhampton, creating opportunities for these urban audiences to access and respond to nature through new cultural experiences.
