Taking a lead from the RHS who have cancelled all their shows and events for the next few months, we have taken the decision to postpone our Bluebells Bazaar until July when it will become a Summer Fayre on the weekend of July 25/26th.
The gardens are open to showcase the Giant Tree Lilies which look and smell beautiful at this time of year.
