Castle in Bloom - Raby Castle, Park and Gardens

About

A summer of celebrating the beauty of nature through experiences and events.

This summer, Raby Castle, Park and Gardens will come alive with a vibrant programme of floral experiences and garden-inspired events, including stunning floral installations inside Raby Castle – inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty and creativity of the season.

At the heart of the experience will be the stunning floral installation inside the castle alongside the beautifully reimagined Walled Gardens, where colourful displays of roses, peonies, dahlias and sweet peas create a rich tapestry of scent and colour. Visitors can explore these spaces at their own pace or join daily gardener-led talks to gain insight into the planting schemes, seasonal highlights and heritage of the gardens.

Throughout the summer, a series of hands-on workshops and floristry experiences will offer opportunities to get creative, while curated garden displays and lifestyle showcases provide inspiration for both indoor and outdoor living.

The gardens will also play host to a lively calendar of events, from the much-anticipated Spring Garden Fair to open-air theatre and music performances set against the stunning backdrop of the castle. For those seeking a more relaxed atmosphere, Summer Lates will offer extended evening openings with food, drink and the chance to wander the gardens as the sun sets.

Families can enjoy immersive trails and interactive installations woven throughout the grounds, adding a playful and imaginative element to the garden experience.

Blending horticultural excellence with creativity, entertainment and design, Raby Castle promises a truly memorable summer celebration of flowers, gardens and the great outdoors.
