After such a long month of January, it’s hard to believe spring is just around the corner, but it finally is! We are very excited to see the snowdrops, daffodils and crocuses blooming throughout the Gardens and providing a glimpse of the season ahead.
If you’re looking for things to do this spring in Hertfordshire, then you’re in the right place! On Saturday 23rd March Knebworth House, Gardens and Dinosaur Trail will be opening for the first time this year, with the Park and Adventure Playground re-opening from Saturday 23rd March.
Here are the top 6 things to do at Knebworth House, Gardens & Park this spring:
- Visit over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend
This Easter, Friday 29th March – Monday 1st April, we are running our ever-popular Easter Trail. Follow the Trail sheet around Knebworth Gardens looking for clues to complete the word puzzle, with a delicious prize at the end! You can also join the Green Dragon Bowmen in the Park for ‘have a go’ Archery! Priced at £2 to shoot 6 arrows. - Spend the day at the Adventure Playground
The Adventure Playground is a great destination for you and your family: enjoy the astro and drop slides, play on the swings and slides at Fort Knebworth, whizz down the zip wire, try the interactive water play, and scale the climbing equipment. - Enjoy the views from The Watchman’s Tower
Climb the spiral staircase to the top of the Victorian Watchman’s Tower and admire the incredible views of Knebworth House and 250 acres of Parkland. Immerse yourself in scenes from Anglo-Saxon, Norman, Tudor, Victorian and modern times via our interactive virtual reality app ‘Knebworth Watch’, available to download for free. - Venture into the Dinosaur Trail
The 72 life-sized dinosaurs and pre-historic creatures can be found grazing amongst the shrubbery. Exploring the woodland paths, children can learn about the T-Rex, the Woolly Mammoth and other fascinating pre-historic creatures. - Roam through the Gardens
Spring is a particularly wonderful time of year in the gardens, with flowers beginning to bloom and wildlife appearing throughout the Park. - Explore the Exhibitions
Our Exhibition Space showcases some of the stories that make Knebworth House so unique. The exhibition is split into three areas; ‘Live at Knebworth, ‘On Location at Knebworth House’ and ‘The Lytton Family in India’, depicting the stories and events by the people who were there and remember them best.
