Snowdrop Month at The Bishop’s Palace
Explore carpets of snowdrops in our 14 acres of RHS partner gardens.
Experience the beauty of snowdrops and the arrival of spring at The Bishop’s Palace this February as our popular Snowdrop Month returns!
Wander through 14 acres of breathtaking RHS partner gardens, adorned with carpets of delicate galanthus. Follow our printed Snowdrop Walk, guiding you along the Moat banks, across the Willow Bridge, and into an Arboretum brimming with springtime charm. For younger visitors, a children’s trail adds fun activities, making it the perfect family day out!
While the snowdrops’ peak bloom depends on the weather, Head Gardener James advises: “As the growing season can vary, don’t wait until the final days to visit—you might miss them!”
