Anyone for tennis?
Tennis nets made out of bunting set in glorious surrounds. Game. Set. Match. This is tennis with a National Trust twist. Feel free to bring your own tennis rackets along and pretend to to be a Wimbledon champion.
Creative Creatures
Have a go at creating creatures from natural materials in the garden. Will you try to make a beetle, spider or make up your own wild animal or insect? A National Trust gardener will be able to show you the best spots for foraging the most unusual leaves, seeds and mosses to make your creature complete.
Den building
Tucked away in a hidden corner of the garden lies a den builder's paradise. Forage for branches and build a shelter in the woods. Will your den pass the water test? Even better, you can tick off one of the 50 things, No. 4 'Build a den'.
Miniature raft building
Let one of the gardener's show you how to build a floating vessel or maybe you have your own method? The main test - will it float on the Japaense Pond? Tick off No. 43 of the 50 things once you've finished building and floating your raft and then 'Discover what's in a pond' and tick off No. 35.
