Tanys' Transformations - Wedding Dresses Exhibition

Thursday 9th January - Thursday 23rd January - 09:00 - 17:00

Tanys' Transformations - the initiative which upcycles former wedding dresses into amazing fashion statements for charity is back in the Cloisters from 9th to 23rd January 2025. The Exhibition follows an incredible year in which the 2023/4 Mayors' Appeal headed by Tanys Kolizeras (the 649th Mayor of Wells) has grown into a fully-fledged social enterprise. The project has engaged with over a 1000 people transforming over 120 dresses and brought to life by 60 supporting models that have ranged in age from 13 to over 80. In the process over £10,000 has been directly raised for charity as well as supporting a host of local causes. We will have approximately 40 dresses on display- each with a unique story and purpose- together with photographic extracts from the past years amazing modelling and events programme. So join us in welcoming in the New Year by visiting this unique exhibition of creative fashion design with a purpose. What better way to celebrate the start of another year and who knows you may even find it transformational!

Snowdrop Month 2025

Throughout February 2025

The Palace is open 10am – 4pm (3.30pm last entry)

Experience the beauty of spring at The Bishop’s Palace this February as our popular Snowdrop Month returns!

Wander through 14 acres of breathtaking RHS Partner Gardens, adorned with carpets of delicate snowdrops. Follow our printed Snowdrop Walk, guiding you along the Moat banks, across the Willow Bridge, and into an Arboretum brimming with springtime charm. For younger visitors, a children’s trail adds fun activities, making it the perfect family day out!

While the snowdrops’ peak bloom depends on the weather, Head Gardener James advises: “As the growing season can vary, don’t wait until the final days to visit—you might miss them!”

Don’t miss this magical celebration of spring – plan your visit today!

Entry to Snowdrop Month, (excluding the ticketed Walk and Talk), is included with an admission ticket or a Friends of the Palace ticket.
