Join the National Trust on Sunday 22 March 2026 from 10:30am to 3:30pm for a day of family filled fun, fresh air and FREE activities.

The National Trust is celebrating the start of spring and its Festival of Blossom by hosting its first ever Blossom Bash. Entry into the site and participation in all activities is free whilst materials last.

Activities include:

• Flower Crown making with Ildiko Nagy
• Tote bag block printing with Natasha Taheem
• Scavenger Trails around the gardens and orchard
• Interactive storytelling with Pyn Stockman (11.30am and 1.30pm)
• Facepainting with Coloured Cheeks
• Blossom themed crafts
• Photos with our Blossom Queen.

We’ll also be showcasing our four winning designs from the Blossoming Spaces Competition which were submitted by primary and secondary children across East Birmingham.

Please note that this event is outdoors and so suitable clothes should be worn.

This event is made possible with thanks to players of People’s Postcode Lottery.

Special Offers

The first 150 people to enter the event and tell us how they heard about the Blossom Bash will receive a token for a free hot or cold drink from the café.

Details on how to get to the venue can be found on the Castle Bromwich Historical Gardens Website, or you enquire about free travel on one of our coaches departing from, and returning to sites within Shard End, Heartlands, Bromford & Hodge Hill and Yardley & West Stechford.
