Festival of Flowers

Every day during our Festival of Flowers there are fun tours and events happening as we all enjoy the beautiful curved rows of lavender in bloom. Find a new level of calm as you wander through the lavender rows, marvelling at the gift of Mother Nature.

Our family run farm is lovingly cared for year-round to be able to create the beautiful sights that come alive during summer, so we ask that you respect the land and leave no trace when you visit our slice of paradise.

Gate Fee

Bridestowe Estate 0433

During the months of December & January there is a $20/person entry fee for those who are 16 years and older.

As a working farm in rural Tasmania, hosting thousands of visitors each summer’s day is no easy feat. Charging an entry fee during the Festival of Flowers enables us to:
  • Employ locals to assist in the cafe, groundskeeping, and cleaning.
  • Provide clean and safe picnic areas, toilets, parking and more
  • Free WiFi, tours and other fun activities.
  • Ensure that our lavender plants are cared for all year round

We love getting to see you in our fields in December and January, but we are also open year round when the lavender is no longer blooming with free entry from February - November.
