Posted on 30th March 2026
Experience a floral paradise this spring as the magnificent Elizabethan Great Hall of Burton Agnes is transformed into a vibrant sanctuary of orchids. For two weeks, the historic ground floor rooms are filled with hundreds of rare, fragrant, and exotic blooms, creating one of the most spectacular indoor garden displays in the North of England.
āØ What to Expect
The Orchid Festival is more than just a flower show; it is a creative takeover of a "lived-in" family home. Several hundred orchidsāranging from the flamboyant and vibrantly coloured to the delicate and highly scentedātake centre stage against the backdrop of 17th-century carvings and French Impressionist art.
- Sepctacular Displays: Wander through the Great Hall and adjoining rooms to see creative floral schemes that celebrate the drama and diversity of the orchid family.
- Living History:From medieval-themed food stalls to live music, the grounds feel like a step back in time.
- Plant Sales: Feeling inspired? A wide selection of competitively priced orchids, handpicked for their beauty and suitability for growing as houseplants, will be available to purchase on the ground floor.
- Fully Accessible: The orchid displays are located on the ground floor of the Hall, making the entire festival fully wheelchair accessible.
