North East in Blossom at Seaton Delaval Hall

Fall in love with blossom at Seaton Delaval Hall and throughout the North East this year. Pick up a blossom map, take part in one of our events, or simply savour the uplifting impact of blossom. It’s time to connect with nature and each other. Every year at springtime trees burst into bloom, offering a sense of hope and renewal. For centuries blossom has been celebrated in literature, art and music all around the world. During the celebrations at Seaton Delaval Hall, we encourage you to take a moment in nature and take in the signs of spring.  

Follow our blossom trail across the grounds to spot the garden blooms and discover spotlight items in the hall’s collection.   Grab a deckchair or giant bean bag and choose a blossom zone within the formal garden, from the laburnum arch with all of it’s golden splendour, to the sweet scented orange azaleas or the bright pink, lilac or white rhododendrons.   See our blossom exhibition with artwork by visual artist Bethan Maddocks and poetry by writer John Challis, exploring the themes of nature recovery and blossom as a symbol of hope and renewal, created with participation from local community groups.
