MAPPERTON CHRISTMAS FAIR CANCELLED ON 24 NOV DUE TO HIGH WINDS - Mapperton is now closed for the season and will reopen on 30 March 2025. We look forward to seeing you then!

Snowdrop Sunday

William Wordsworth called the snowdrop a ‘venturous harbinger of Spring’ and visitors who come to Mapperton for Snowdrop Sundays will see sweeps of them in the lower garden.  They will also encounter many hellebores – the Lent lily, Corsican and stinking hellebores – all around. Camellias are coming through especially on the north façade of the house where Bow Bells and the single white camellia are already making a show. The early crocus (thomasinianus) is making a blue carpet under the great Acer Griseum beside the camellias; and daffodils are sneaking out.

We will be open on Sunday 4th February from 11am to 4pm.  The Coach House café will be open offering hot drinks and delicious cakes for you to enjoy after or before your walk. Selected plants, including snowdrops, will also be on sale.  

Admission is £10 per adult and under 16s are free.   Tickets can be bought on arrival or in advance online.  Don’t miss this chance to say goodbye to winter and welcome this first harbinger of Spring!
