We are excited to announce the launch of the Spring Display of Rhododendrons. This annual display, usually at its peak in the month of May but often in late April and early June, is highly anticipated by garden lovers.

’Summer at Leonardslee’ is scheduled between the 22nd to the 30th of July, 11am to 4pm each day and promises a range of activities, entertainment, and delectable food for adults and children.

As springtime arrives, the woodlands come alive with the enchanting beauty of British bluebells.
