The snowdrops are the first sign that spring is approaching and the snowdrop weekends in the Hall’s extensive grounds have been available throughout February, free for the first time.
The charge to enter which applied in previous years has been waived by management and instead, a small donation of just £1 per person will provide visitors with a Snowdrop map and factsheet, including a 10 per cent-off voucher if they chose to take a Hall tour.
Hall officials have ben delighted with the respomse, with general manager Peter Anthony saying: "The income from our snowdrop season is instrumental for the sustainability of Lytham Hall. The mansion and its parkland receives no regular revenue grants for its upkeep, restoration and maintenance.”
