WIN! Family tickets to winter wonderland
You can win a wonderful family day out at Hodsock Priory
THE BEAUTIFUL setting of Hodsock Priory has bloomed into a winter wonderland - and we have five family tickets for lucky readers to win and experience the magic.
Whilst many visitor attractions may have closed their doors for the winter season, one has opened up for just four weeks to welcome visitors to its inspiring snowdrop garden for an ideal winter day out.
Hodsock Priory in Blyth, near Worksop, is one of the country’s leading snowdrop gardens and celebrates it’s 21st anniversary this year with several special, additional events to delight visitors of all ages.
“We can’t quite believe that we have been welcoming visitors to our spectacular Snowdrops for 21 years and we have ensured this year is particularly special in celebration of the anniversary,” said George Buchanan - ninth generation resident and general manager Hodsock Priory.
“We have been working hard over recent months to put together some superb events and attractions, so that our visitors can enjoy what Hodsock has to offer.”
The 21st Hodsock Snowdrops will officially opened earlier this month when visitors were able to sample ‘The Drop’ – a specially commissioned ale from a local brewery.
For the first time ever visitors can now enjoy tours of the house and gardens and find out what goes on behind the scenes.
Gardening enthusiasts can enjoy three different gardening presentations on 22nd - 24th February with local RHS Chelsea Gold award winner Jamie Dunstan giving talks.
Or, if food and crafts are more your thing enjoy the inaugural Hodsock local produce fair where the finest local craftspeople will be exhibiting on 18th - 19th and 25th - 26th February.
Hodsock Priory and its Snowdrop Gardens are open each day from 4th February - 4th March 2012.
Admission is £5 each for all adults, £1 for children aged six -16 and those under six go free.
Dogs are not permitted in the gardens or house.
