Festival of Blossom: Blossom Bathing

Celebrate the Festival of Blossom at Hanbury Hall with Blossom Bathing in the orchard.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

“Blossom trees in spring bring life, energy, places to sit and reflect, objects to watch sway in wind. They can ground us and remind us of the world beyond our immediate surroundings and take us out of ourselves when we need time away from the problems of our lives.” ~ Tom Shuttleworth, Trees and Woodland Advisor, National Trust

Take a deep breath and relax in the apple or pear orchard. Help yourself to a mat and rest beneath the beautiful apple blossom. Take in their gorgeous fragrance and listen to the sounds of nature all around you.

Inspired by the Japanese tradition of 'Hanami', or flower viewing, the Festival of Blossom, created by the National Trust, invites people to take a moment and appreciate the beauty of blooming blossoms that can be seen across the country.
