Lakes & Lilies Festival | From 15 June to 1 September | Sheffield Park and Garden

The waterlilies take centre stage from 15 June. Experience a 360-degree view of the bright blooms and buzzing dragonflies from the floating pontoon, installed specially for this natural event. Look out for seven different species of waterlily, in different shades and colours, from buttery yellow to deep pink. Why not enjoy the gardens painted in golden evening hues with Summer Evening openings. Relax with a picnic as you enjoy music from a singer and saxophonist floating across the lakes. Free but standard garden admission applies.
