Dragonfly Meadow

Tapping House, is honoured to present our Dragonfly Meadow in the beautiful gardens of Sandringham House. A breathtaking installation of 4,000 handcrafted steel dragonflies will commemorate our 40^th anniversary and the lives of so many special people we have cared for over the years.

Each dragonfly will represent a life, a memory, a story - offering a powerful way for our community to celebrate or pay tribute to loved ones no longer with us. 

Installed between Thursday 21st August to Sunday 14th September at The Sandringham Gardens, the display forms part of our 40th anniversary celebrations, honouring four decades of care, compassion, and support for families across Norfolk and North Cambridgeshire. 

Created in partnership with The Sandringham Estate and renowned Eminent Master Blacksmith Nigel Barnett, the striking installation will transform a section of the gardens into a sweeping display of dragonflies.

For £36.50, you can reserve your own limited-edition dragonfly in memory of someone special. Your tribute will join thousands of others in this shared celebration of love and life. We are delighted to offer one complimentary entry into The Sandringham Gardens with your dragonfly purchase, by kind permission of The Sandringham Estate. 

After the installation, your dragonfly is yours to keep, a lasting symbol of remembrance for your home or garden. Each is affixed to a steel pole, allowing for easy placement. 

Dragonflies can be collected from the Tapping House or posted directly to you at an additional cost.

If you wish to reserve more than 5 dragonflies or for international delivery please contact the Fundraising Office on 01485 601701.

Please see the Sandringham website for visiting information and to book additional tickets.
