February half term

Celebrate planting a magnificent 1 million snowdrops at Wallington this February half term. Since 2016, visitors have been planting 100,000 snowdrops every February half-term alongside gardeners and volunteers, and this year we're marking a particularly special milestone as the final 100,000 snowdrops will be planted. Here's what you can look forward to on a visit to Wallington this February half term.

Snowdrop planting: 22 February to 2 March

With your help, the final 100,000 snowdrops will be planted this February half-term from 11am to 3pm everyday. That's a massive 1 million planted since we first began this fun, family, February half term activity back in 2016! 

Snowdrop crafts: 22 February to 1 March

Create your very own snowdrop crown to salute these heralds of spring from 11am to 3pm everyday.

Snowdrop parade and crafts: 2 March

It's parade day! And no parade is complete without something jazzy to wear and some bells to jingle. Join in with snowdrop parade day crafts (10.30am to 1pm) at Wallington and make a snowdrop crown and jingle stick to wear and rattle on the parade.

The sound of music will then fill the air as you embark on the snowdrop parade (1.30pm to 1.45pm). Accompanied by a musician, you can dance, skip, walk or jump around on your way from the courtyard to the east lawn. You can then help plant the final snowdrops if you wish, celebrating the end of this long-standing February half-term tradition.
