Snowdrops herald the start of Kentwell Hall’s 2023 programme

Spring has sprung at Kentwell Hall after the first visitors of 2023 were treated to fields of snowdrops. 

Snowdrops Days started last weekend and visitors were not disappointed as they took advantage of the sunny February weather to enjoy walks around the gardens, farm and woodland trail.

The event is the traditional curtain raiser at the Long Melford manor house and runs throughout the half term and then every weekend until Sunday, March 5. 

A spokesman for Kentwell Hall said: “It was wonderful to welcome visitors once again to Kentwell Hall ahead of a busy programme of events this year.

“Spring is a lovely time to visit with carpets of snowdrops and little pockets of bright yellow aconites still showing.

“There is a contrast between a mix of colour with the yews and conifers and the winter starkness shown by the shapes of the bare trees.

“For our younger visitors, there’s also the Tudor Rose courtyard maze and a varied storybook trail.”

Snowdrops Days runs all half term and then every weekend until March 5 when the attention then turns to Kentwell Hall’s lambing weekends.
