February 19, 2026

Hosting everything from winter walking tours and Easter adventures to Pudding Clubs and Mother’s Day afternoon teas, Waddesdon Manor has plenty to offer this spring.

Waddesdon Manor has announced an exciting selection of springtime activities throughout March and April 2026, with a programme spanning indulgent Pudding Clubs and afternoon teas to beautiful tours both inside and outdoors at the Manor.

Upcoming highlights include Winter Walking Tours. Taking place on Wednesdays and Sundays from 18 February to 22 March 2026, visitors can admire the beauty of the gardens in wintertime – and keep an eye out for aconites and hellebores, along with rarely visible views across Aylesbury Vale.

Showcasing three fabulous desserts created in-house by the Head Patissier, satisfy your sweet toth at the Pudding Club at the Manor Restaurant on Saturday 14 March, from 7pm.

Starting with canapés and sparkling wine in the Wine Cellars, the four-course menu celebrates the rich tradition of British desserts.

Light artist Bruno Munro returns to Waddesdon for the first UK collaboration with his daughter Tink Munro, from 27 March 2026 with the Four Seasons exhibition, exploring time, place, and the natural environment through light, sound, and sustainable materials.

It will be shown in the Coach House Gallery and includes a piece that translates the music of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons into dynamic light.

Little ones can take part in an Easter Adventure Trail on various dates throughout March and April. Packed with games, creative activities, and, of course, chocolate eggs, simply pick up your trail sheet on arrival at the Welcome Pavilion or Visitor Information.

Running throughout the year, visitors can discover the stories of the rare, precious objects on display and learn about the tradition of treasure rooms as part of A Rothschild Treasure: Tours.

The Rothschild Treasury houses more than 300 objects made from rare and precious materials – from a 1st-century cameo of Augustus Caesar’s grandson to jewellery gifted by Queen Victoria, gold boxes, and more.
