This winter, let the Snowdrop Spectacular at Burton Agnes Hall bring you out of hibernation
Wrap up warmly this winter and enjoy the breathtaking display of snowdrops here.
Every February, thousands of hardy snowdrops push through the cold winter ground to create a magnificent ‘white carpet’ across the woodland floor here at Burton Agnes. Walking peacefully among these makes a truly memorable day out at the end of the long winter. The beautiful little flowers grow in numbers each year and are such a welcome sight. This biblical symbol of hope reminds us that winter eventually gives way to spring, and announces the new season.
Galanthophiles may also like to buy some Burton Agnes-propagated snowdrops ‘in the green’, which is the best way of building a collection.
Please note that in gale force winds the woodland walk will close. Please phone the office on 01262 490 324 if you would like advice.
The woodland is open for walking among the snowdrops from the 5th February to 6th March 2022, from 11am to 4pm daily.
Garden admission applies

Use our telescopes and binoculars to view a range of constellations and the objects that reside within them, including deep sky objects such as nebulae, star clusters and galaxies.
Dalby Forest is within the North York Moors National Park, which in 2020, was designated an International Dark Sky Reserve by the International Dark-Sky Association, one of only 18 in the world.
Wrap up warm as it can get very cold on a night we will have lots of hot drinks and biscuits to help keep you warm If you have your own equipment please feel free to bring it, even a pair of binoculars and a blanket to lie on can be great.
We will have our indoor planetarium on standby in case the weather does not allow us to see any stars outside. Using this we can take you on a virtual tour of the night sky and even on a journey through our entire universe. This means we will only cancel an event if Dalby is inaccessible due to weather conditions.
This event takes place at our Dalby Explorer Hub, located in the Courtyard at the opposite end of the carpark to the main visitor centre. If you park at the main visitor centre carpark and then follow signs for the Dalby Bike Hub/Courtyard you will find us (please note mobile phone coverage is very poor in Dalby Forest).

Enjoy a guided tour of the night sky, focusing on objects in our solar system (the moon and other planets) as well as stars that reside far away from Earth within our Milky Way galaxy. Use our telescopes and binoculars to view a range of constellations and the objects that reside within them, including deep sky objects such as nebulae, star clusters and galaxies.
Dalby Forest is within the North York Moors National Park, which in 2020, was designated an International Dark Sky Reserve by the International Dark-Sky Association, one of only 18 in the world.
Wrap up warm as it can get very cold on a night we will have lots of hot drinks and biscuits to help keep you warm If you have your own equipment please feel free to bring it, even a pair of binoculars and a blanket to lie on can be great.
We will have our indoor planetarium on standby in case the weather does not allow us to see any stars outside. Using this we can take you on a virtual tour of the night sky and even on a journey through our entire universe. This means we will only cancel an event if Dalby is inaccessible due to weather conditions.
This event takes place at our Dalby Explorer Hub, located in the Courtyard at the opposite end of the carpark to the main visitor centre. If you park at the main visitor centre carpark and then follow signs for the Dalby Bike Hub/Courtyard you will find us (please note mobile phone coverage is very poor in Dalby Forest). If you don’t have a Dalby Forest pass to cover your parking charge then we will give you a code on the night to use before you exit to give you free parking.
