Anglesey Abbey
Christmas maybe behind us, but Winter is still sparkling in the house as the Glittering Prizes exhibition continues. If you value the wonderful craftsmanship of Georgian silver, you shouldn't miss this display of sporting trophies by some of the greatest silversmiths of that era. Robert Adam, Samuel Courtauld, and Garrard, as well as Paul Storr, are represented and it's probably the closest most of us will get to an Epsom Gold Cup!
Snowdrop time
While most gardeners put their feet up at this time of year, Anglesey Abbey's team has its busiest season, as snowdrops start to appear in all their wonder. With 240 varieties to see, some originating at the gardens, this really is a signal that spring is on its way. This year, we have an enjoyable and informative film running at the Visitor Centre and you can also join tours with experts on weekdays at 2pm (booking advisable). Snowdrop season runs from 24 January to 27 February, but appearance of snowdrops subject to climate! 10.30am -4.30pm daily.
Glittering Prizes -until 16 January
Enjoy the spectacular Georgian-silver sporting trophies accumulated by Lord Fairhaven, in a special display at the house. Weds-Sun, 11-3.30pm. Included in normal garden-only admission charge.
