Festival of Blossom at Coleton Fishacre

Celebrate the Festival of Blossom at Coleton Fishacre from 20 March - 30 April.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

From the apple trees on arrival to the show stopping ornamental cherry trees in the garden, the spring blossom display at Coleton Fishacre is one of the garden highlights.

Between 20 March and 30 April, wander the garden and spot all the different types of blossom in bloom at Coleton Fishacre. Indoors, there's a blossom and bloom trail to enjoy and for some extra fun, try your hand at writing a blossom haiku or tanka poem with the blossom poetry cards.

We highly encourage visitors to switch off and take a moment to slow down and enjoy the signs of new life. Connecting with nature, even for a few minutes, can give us an escape from the stresses of daily life and give us the space to gather our thoughts.

You could take photos of new blooms, have a picnic under the blossom, practise mindfulness or forest bathing. Join in and share your photos on social media using #BlossomWatch.
