60 days of summer

We've got this summer sorted, with our family ideas and events from now until September. From den building to dressing up, this summer it should be a piece of cake to keep the children happy.

Go wild

Release your inner Wild Child this summer and hunt out activities for all the family to enjoy. Join a mini beast safari, build your own den or get your waterproofs on for some pond dipping. Dig, splash, create, find, explore - have fun. There's an amazing world outdoors just waiting for you!

Sofa so good

Our new survey shows that we're spending hours and hours indoors when we could be enjoying the sunshine. Now you can sit back and enjoy the scenery from the comfort of one of our giant grass sofas. It's the ultimate in outdoor living.
