What's On @ Drumlanrig Castle and Country Estate

Drumlanrig Castle Snowdrop Walk Weekend
You can’t beat a snowdrop walk in Dumfries and Galloway. Join us on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th February 2025, and Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd, 11am-3pm to explore the magnificent Castle Gardens before they officially open on 1st March. Enjoy one of the first signs of spring at Drumlanrig Castle Gardens as we showcase our snowdrops. Follow a specially designed way-marked route around the Gardens and discover the variety of snowdrops on display. Don’t miss the witch hazels which light up the winter garden with their spidery, fragrant blooms in vivid yellow, orange, and red. These hardy shrubs bring warmth and colour to the frosty landscape, a cheerful surprise when most plants lie dormant. The Larchwood Cabin and toilets will also be open for delicious light lunches, coffees and traybakes. A variety of plants will also be available to buy on the day.
