Each spring, Montsalvat’s Poolside Terrace is transformed by a breathtaking cascade of purple wisteria. Planted more than 80 years ago beside the Long Gallery, these flowering vines have become one of Montsalvat’s most iconic seasonal wonders.

This fleeting display of violet lasts only two to three weeks. Whether you’re here to take photographs, capture the moment on canvas, or simply pause and soak in the beauty, it’s an unmissable highlight of the year.

This year, guests can pre-book exclusive access to the area directly beneath the canopy—a rare chance to immerse yourself in the blooms and capture the perfect photograph. Purple fairy floss will also be available for purchase.

Your pre-booked ticket also includes general entry to Montsalvat for the day.

Secure your spot and experience this rare seasonal magic before it fades for another year.

Private Function Closures: On Friday 26th September from 2.30pm, the Wisteria & Poolside area will be closed for a private function.
