Snowdrop Celebrations at the Bishop's Palace, Wells

Snowdrop Month at The Bishop's Palace > The Bishop's Palace

The Bishop's Palace's popular "Snowdrop Celebrations" is returning to Wells and will run all this month.

Visitors can collect a printed Snowdrop Walk to guide them around the moat banks carpeted with spectacular snowdrops, and across the Willow Bridge to enjoy an Arboretum full of snowdrops of several varieties.

Plus each weekend little ones can pick up a children's trail from the Palace Ticket Office with the reward of a small prize upon completion.

Admission: Entry is included with any standard admission including The People's Ticket and Membership. You can buy an admission ticket online or at the Ticket Office on your arrival.

Half-term at Wookey Hole

Wookey Hole Caves and Attractions - Visit Bristol

February is a great time to see the caves, they are usually warmer than outside! You'll get to enjoy the caves at your own pace and there is always a knowlegeable guide on hand to answer your questions about this fascinating and awe-inspiring underground adventure land. 

If the weather is kind, there is also plenty to explore in our beautiful valley. Why not challenge your loved ones to a friendly Adventure Golf competition? Loser buys the hot chocolates.

If you're lucky, you might even spot the first signs of spring poking out from behind the Dinosaurs.

But if it is cold and miserable, you can stay warm in the Mill, where there is something to entertain everyone. You can experience a 4D cinema show, or head to our learning zones to find out more about the fascinating story of Wookey Hole, or the adventures of the divers who regularly explore the caves underwater. You might even catch a paper making demonstration! Did you know we used to be a working Paper Mill?

After the kids have worn themselves out in soft play, you can all sit back and enjoy a live performance from the incredibly talented artists of the Wookey Hole Circus in the large onsite theatre.

Wells Little Theatre

Forget-Me-Knot

The unforgettable comedy by David Tristram.

Robert Zeinfeld is found wandering the streets of Leicester at 4 a.m. There's no clue how he got there, just a bruised head and a suspicious policeman for company. But...perhaps he hasn't lost his memory at all; perhaps it's all an elaborate cover-up. The deeper the policeman digs, the more confused he gets. But the truth always comes out in the end. Or does it?

Show dates: 8th - 11th March 2023
