Scents of Croome

Step into a world where the senses guide your journey through history and nature, inspired by our Pages from Nature exhibition.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

This Easter, we invite you to explore the House at Croome in a unique and immersive way.

As you wander through the rooms, you'll encounter scent boxes that hold the key to revealing how the House and its surroundings are intricately connected. Follow the trail to learn about the intentional design choices that make Croome a masterful display of harmony between architecture and nature. Along the way, you may discover plants listed in the Hortus Croomensis, a vast catalogue of Croome’s extensive plant collection written over 200 years ago!

Enjoy this sensory adventure and uncover the stories that lie within the scents.

For an extra challenge in the Court this Easter, take part in the ‘Scrambled Eggs’ word search activity. Can you unscramble words from letters that are hidden in egg decorations around the ground floor? You may even reveal some clues as to the origins of scents on the trail...

Please be aware that the scent trail involves the use of various scents throughout. If you have sensitivities or allergies to certain smells, we advise you to proceed with caution.

For your comfort and safety, please feel free to skip any scent boxes that may cause discomfort. If you have any questions or queries, please contact our team before taking part in the trail.
