Exbury Gardens – Events & Spring Spectacles
Nestled beside the Beaulieu River, Exbury Gardens spans 200 acres of woodland showcasing prized collections of rhododendrons, azaleas, camellias, hydrangeas, and more—designated Grade II* for its historic importance.
Over the year, the gardens burst into vibrant displays, hosting guided walks, children’s “Donkey Day” workshops, pop-up pottery, arts & crafts sessions, and seasonal evening events like illuminated light trails
