Bluebell Day 2026

We had such incredible day at last year’s Bluebell event, and we can’t wait to do it all again. It was a great to meet so many visitors in Buckenham Wood, share updates about the woodland, and chat about the plans shaping its future. Your insight, curiosity, and enthusiasm made the day truly special.

This year’s Bluebell Day will take place on Sunday 25th April, and we’d love to see you there. Our information point will be set up next to the BAWT noticeboard on the northern boundary path. We will be ready to answer questions, talk about woodland management, or simply share a moment among our amazing bluebells.
