Blossomise at Quarry Bank, Cheshire - Saturday 27 April
Experience Blossomise – a live music and poetry performance by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage and the band LYR.
Supported by a playlist and found sound from musician SL Walkinshaw, this event is part of a series celebrating the National Trust’s annual Festival of Blossom and the uplifting sight of spring.
The artists will be joined by the choral sounds of Dawn Chorus at the historic Quarry Bank Mill, one of Britain's greatest industrial heritage sites. Your ticket includes entry to the site during the day. Soak up the tranquillity of this National Trust place during daytime opening hours and explore the orchard covered in delicate blossom.
Please note this event is recommended for children over 12 years of age. Any children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Blossomise is brought to you in collaboration with the National Trust and is supported by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
