Historic
​Houses

Reluctantly this event has been cancelled due to severe weather conditions

Visit the grounds of the houses where James Allen and his family lived - open especially for the Festival

See the three family homes where James Allen lived as a child, as a snowdrop breeder and as an elderly man.  
​The gardens have historical interest rather than mass displays of snowdrops, however at Windsor Hill House you can see a collection of outdoor sculpture by Somerset artist, Chris  Kampf.

Windsor Hill House garden is open on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th, 12-4pm
