First head for Putley Parish Hall which is the Information Hub, where you can park, buy entrance tickets (£5 for adults, children under 16 free, valid for all venues for the day), pick up leaflets and start walks, both guided and ‘freestyle’.
The Hall will also be the centre for refreshments, and the famous Blossomtime lunches and teas.
Car parking
We have the use of a large field for car parking behind the hall. If you come by car please park here as car parking is not available at Dragon Orchard, except for Blue Badge holders where there will be a few spaces.
Tickets
These can be purchased at the hall from 09.45 on both days. The tickets cost £5 for adults, accompanied children under 16 are free. The ticket gives you access to all venues for the day marked on the ticket and includes cider and perry tasting at Dragon Orchard and talks and other activities and the guided walks. Cash is preferred as internet reception for our card machine can be erratic. If you plan to come both days will will need to purchase separate tickets for each day.
Schedule of guided walks
All walks are circular and will leave from Putley Parish Hall. They are each intended to last 1hr 30mins. Please arrive at least 5 minutes before the start of your walk. Adults will be asked to show a Blossomtime 2026 pass (£5, accompanied children free), available to purchase from the Parish Hall.
