5 things to enjoy at Painshill in April

April at Painshill

1. Enjoy the season 🌳

No spring would be complete without bright blooms popping up all around the landscape.

The beautiful Bluebells

The Bluebell is one of the most iconic flowers to see in April. With stunning colours through an array of violets and purples, they are a sign of warmer days ahead.

Bringing colour throughout Painshill, you can experience the landscape with soft violet hues.

Come and enjoy a little sparkle of spring. (Don’t forget to also check out our fabulous plants to buy from our gift shop!)

2. Members early morning openings return this April

Every Tuesday, from 16th April until 27th August 2024, Painshill will open from 8am for members. Celebrate bright and fresh mornings and enjoy extended opening hours at Painshill.

Perfect for tranquil strolls, our early openings are available for Painshill Members only. Access the landscape before the general public and enjoy the garden whilst it is quiet.

Mr Hamilton’s Tea Room will be open for tea, coffee and breakfast.

Please note: the Crystal Grotto will not be open early.

3. The Chinese Bridge – A crucial restoration appeal

Painshill Park Trust urgently needs to rebuild the Chinese Bridge. The Bridge was restored in the 1980s and, after 40 years of use, the wood is unstable and needs replacing.

We are fundraising £250,000 to urgently re-build the Chinese Bridge back to its original form so that it can be used and enjoyed by all our visitors.

Please help us to rebuild this very important bridge- https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/chinesebridge
