I've come by two clumps of Lily Of The Valley "bulbs". Can anyone advise

as the best way and place to plant these. I'm short of space in the
garden,
so would pots be OK?

Not really. If you have a damp place where you don't mind them
running riot, that is ideal. They will quite happily coexist with
shrubs, but are as invasive and hard to get rid of as ground elder.
They don't need any direct sun - in fact, they prefer shade.

This makes me weep. I love lily of the valley and several times have
planted bulbs in my damp corner. Nothing has ever grown. Seems I am the kiss
of death to these plants.
