A Celebration of
All Things Dahlia

Make sure Kelmarsh Hall’s Dahlia
Festival is in your diary when the popular
two-day event makes a return to the
Northamptonshire country house this year.
In celebration of the impressive collection
of dahlias at Kelmarsh Hall, a programme
of specially-themed activities will take
place on Sunday 4th September and
Sunday 18th September.

The historic walled kitchen garden is home
to a wonderful, varied display of dahlias
and in recent years, new American-bred
varieties have been added to the collection
as a nod to former resident Nancy
Lancaster’s American roots. Varieties that
can be found at Kelmarsh Hall include
Crazy Legs, Sassafras, Lucky Ducky and
Junkyard Dog.

For those wishing to find out more about how to
grow, care for and get the most from these
magnificent flowers, there will be special
dahlia clinics led by gardening
experts, so that you too can enjoy
a vibrant display in your own garden.

In addition, there will be garden tours led
by our Head Gardener, flower arranging demonstrations
and a daily talk – more details will
be published on the Kelmarsh Hall website
nearer the time. The Grade I listed Hall will
be open for visitors to view at their leisure
from 2pm to 4pm on a free-flow basis.

The opening times are 11am to 5pm and
there will be a single entry fee to the hall,
gardens and all the events during the
Dahlia Festival: £8 for adults,
£4.50 for children aged
5-14, free entry for
under-fives and a 20%
discount for RHS
members (£6.40).

Due to this being a special event
other membership cards cannot be
used, including the Kelmarsh garden
season ticket, and those planning on
visiting the tea room only will be required to
pay the full admission fee.
