Snowdrop Festival

27 Feb 2026 - 28 Feb 2026

Celebrate the first signs of spring at the breathtaking Wentworth Woodhouse Snowdrop Festival!

Wander through carpets of delicate white blooms on this self-guided Snowdrop Walk and explore the Gardens as they awaken for a new season.

Enhance your visit with floral displays, optional creative workshops (coming soon)*, gardener talks, and drop-in family activities (Saturday only).

White snowdrops bloom across a woodland floor covered in fallen leaves, with a group of people standing blurred in the background among tall trees. The focus is on the delicate flowers in the foreground, creating a soft contrast between the sharp details of the snowdrops and the out-of-focus figures behind them.
