Silverstone gears up for Easter fun

Lamport Hall opened for the first time this year in February and were delighted to welcome over 1,000 visitors to enjoy their splendid snowdrop and spring flowers display. They really were a treat to behold this year. The daffodils are just starting to show their heads after a beautiful covering of snow but all staff are now looking forward to warmer months and welcoming lots of visitors this spring.

The Gardens will be open every Wednesday and Thursday from the 5th of April to the end of October from 10am to 4pm. The Hall will open from the 3rd of May to allow a restoration project in the library to be completed before visitors return. Tours of the Hall will be by guided tour only at 11am and 1pm with a monthly ‘freeflow’ access option being added new for this year. Please see the website for more details on this. The café will be also be open 10am-3pm offering light refreshments and delicious homemade cakes. All full price tickets to the house and/or gardens will be automatically upgraded to a 12 month annual pass, meaning you can enjoy the changing seasons with just one entry cost. Alternatively you can gain free access as a member of Historic Houses or 2 for 1 access with a Gardener’s World card. The season of events kicks off with a much-anticipated Antiques and Collectors Fair over the Easter weekend. The event will be open on Easter Sunday and Monday, 10am4pm with adult entry costing £5.
