Family visits to Claremont Landscape Garden

A family enjoying Claremont Landscape Garden

There’s plenty of family fun to be had on a visit to Claremont Landscape Garden. From climbing the Belvedere Tower to exploring our play areas and going back in time in the Thatched Cottage, Claremont is a great place for families.

Play area

Claremont used to be the playground of princesses and now it can be yours too. Great for young children.

Natural play area

For older, adventurous children. Climb the mound to build a den and get in touch with your wild side.

Nine-pins bowling alley

We've re-imagined the Duke of Newcastle's original temple in miniature close to the same site, so you too can enjoy a game that has been played at Claremont over the years. Just borrow a ball from the kiosk for a £10 deposit, read the instructions and get bowling.

Thatched Cottage

Travel back in time with our collection of Georgian and Victorian themed outfits, available for you to try on inside the Cottage, open most days. Once you're suitably dressed, enjoy a taste of playtime in the past. There are games, toys, and picnic blankets for you to borrow. Just return them when you're finished.

Tearoom treats

If you're feeling peckish make sure to stop off in the tea-room, where you can indulge in a delicious range of drinks, cakes, breakfasts and light lunches. Don't forget to ask about our children's snack packs.

There's plenty to do in the tea-room while you tuck in. We provide a selection of colouring sheets, crayons and children's books to help you keep the little ones entertained.

Come rain or shine

Is it raining? Don't worry, you can always borrow a brolly from the kiosk, so just put on your wellies, search for the muddiest puddles you can find and have fun.

What will you do?

There are all kinds of hidden surprises to look out for on your walk. Dress up, build a den, cross swords or have a game of 9-pins.

In school holidays we run trails for you to follow around the Garden and hold fun craft sessions in the Thatched Cottage. Ask one of our team to help you find all the activities.
