FEBRUARY AND ALL THROUGH MARCH
SNOWDROPS AT EASTON WALLED GARDENS
Russian State Opera presents Madama Butterfly, one of the most colourful & exotic operas, performed live at Lincoln’s New Theatre Royal. Featuring some of Puccini’s most famous arias, including Un bel dì, vedremo and the Humming Chorus. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
Visit Easton Walled Gardens as the first new growth of the year emerges and the snowdrops open up across Easton Walled Gardens. There’s little to rival the winter beauty of the snowdrop, and until the end of March, Easton Walled Garden is covered in drifts of this delicate flower, which emerges from a bulb formed the previous March after sitting in wait for almost a year. The gardens were rescued by Ursula and Fred Cholmeley in the early 2000s and have remained a splendid sight since. n Adults £8.25, Wed-Sun 11am-4pm, NG33 5AP.
