The Festival of Blossom at Hanbury Hall

Hanbury Hall is home to several species of blossom trees, including pear, apple, and cherry blossom, in flower anytime from March – May.

Inspired by the Japanese tradition of 'Hanami', or flower viewing, the Festival of Blossom, created by the National Trust, invites people to take a moment and appreciate the beauty of blooming blossoms that can be seen across the country.

In the Long Gallery during March, join a nature inspired storytelling session with friendly volunteers on weekends, and have a go at a free, drop-in blossom themed craft daily, including origami. Have your face painted with a beautiful blossom artwork every Sunday from 11am - 3pm.

In April, have a go at blossom bathing in the walled orchard, filled with 56 varieties of heritage apple trees adorned with pink-tinged blossoms. Help yourself to a yoga mat and take a deep breath as you rest beneath the beautiful apple blossom.

Join local yoga teacher Emma for free, drop-in family yoga sessions in the orchard on Thursday 17 April and Thursday 24 April at 2pm, and learn simple, fun yoga poses to promote mindfulness and relaxation.Emma will also be holding a bookable class at 9.30am on Mon 28 April.

Join a Hanbury Hall Gardener on Wednesday 30 April at 11.30am and 12pm for a short talk in the apple orchard to learn more about the blossom that can be found in the gardens.

All money raised from these activities goes towards looking after Hanbury Hall for future generations. Thank you for your support.
