Spring Photography Competition 

Photographer: Wendy Clarke

Calling all budding photographers, enthusiasts and nature lovers! We invite you to take part in our Spring Photography Competition.  

Entry Dates: 20 March 2024 – 20 June 2024 | Opening Hours

There is something magical about capturing nature as the colours start to get brighter as the weather gets warmer. If you are starting out in photography, a seasoned pro or just love getting out and capturing nature then why not enter?   

We are looking to capture the essence of spring within the gardens during this beautiful season. Can you capture the beauty in the stillness? Make the vibrant spring colours come to life? Or catch a glimpse of our animal friends as they explore the estate?
