For families

For World Book Day 2019, 50 places will be hosting special children and family focused events. You will also be able to swap your World Book Day £1 book token for an exciting new read, so make sure you visit us between 9 - 10 March.

We’ve got lots of ideas to help you spoil that special someone this Mother’s Day. Why not get the family together for one of our special events, or treat her to the perfect gift from our online shop?

A great family day out doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. We’ve picked ten of our favourite family trails for you to explore, from woodland escapades, to walks along the coast, lakeside trails to nature-spotting expeditions.

How do you keep the kids entertained on a rainy day? Head to one of the special places we look after for some great activities that won't be ruined by a downpour. They can run around in an indoor adventure play area, play dress up or take part in a house trail and search for clues.

Planning a day out the whole family will enjoy? Let your children's or grandchildren's imaginations run wild as they explore our gardens.

Winter is the perfect time for playing in the snow, stargazing, bird watching, cooking on a campfire and lots more.

People lived, died, loved and fought at the places we look after. Their stories will bring the Tudors, Victorians and wartime people to life for your children. Here are some of the places to visit.

We've picked out top recipes to cook with kids. Quick, easy and delicious, take a look at recipes for cakes, bread, biscuits and spreads.
