About
The Palace's popular Snowdrop Month returns to Wells in February when carpets of snowdrops will be welcoming visitors to the 14 acres of RHS partner gardens at The Bishop's Palace.
The team are expecting another bumper year this year and visitors can collect printed Snowdrop Walks to guide them around the Moat banks, then across the Willow Bridge to enjoy an Arboretum full of the spring flowers.
Little ones can also pick up a children's trail from the Palace's Ticket Office. In partnership with the annual Shepton Snowdrops Festival the Palace's Head Gardener, James Cross, will also be leading a Winter Interest Walk and Talk on the morning of Thursday 12 February 2026, sharing his horticultural knowledge and expertise.
After a break for tea and cake, Amanda Hirst will give a talk on James Allen, known locally as The Snowdrop King, and the first person to breed new varieties from wild snowdrops.
So, head over to Wells this February to celebrate spring at The Bishop's Palace and enjoy these beautiful flowers in a stunning setting.
Entry, excluding the talk, is included with the Annual Pass, Day Ticket, Joint Ticket with Wells Cathedral and Friends of the Palace.
