The 2024 Snowdrop Season begins with the first open weekend on 27th/28th January. We will be open, weather permitting, every weekend until the last weekend on 24th/25th February. If you are planning to visit, please do check the website for weather updates in case inclement weather affects our openings. If the snowdrops allow us, we may open for one further weekend at the beginning of March, but details will be posted on our blog if this is the case.
The gardens comprise approximately 10 acres of formal snowdrop walks around the house and lake, with further parkland and an arboretum around the house to explore further afield. The beautiful St James’ church is always open and on most Saturdays and Sundays during the season there will be bells ringing out along the valley as visiting campanologists come to make beautiful sounds synonymous with the rural setting.
See further details below.
Please note our Snowdrop Study Day on Tuesday 13th February, Weekday Group Guided Tours and our Open Guided Tours on Friday 9th February are all now fully booked, so we look forward to seeing you during our weekend opening hours.

Disabled Access
Although some of the gardens are inaccessible to wheelchair users, the majority of the snowdrops are visible from the many paths and tracks around the area. Please bear in mind that although we are on free draining Cotswold soil and keep the paths maintained throughout the open period, the inclement winter weather can beat us occasionally, resulting in slippery mud!
Dogs
Dogs are welcome. Please keep them on a short lead.
Refreshments
Refreshments will be available in the courtyard building. Each weekend a different charity will be providing hot drinks and cakes in order to raise much needed funds for both local and national causes. Toilet facilities are located in the courtyard with a plant sales stall.
