Climb a tree
There are plenty of trees at Hardwick to climb and play in. We also have balance trails near the Miller's Pond - see if you can balance on the fallen logs.
Make a daisy chain
Visit Hardwick during summer and you'll find lots of daisies to make necklaces and bracelets with.
Just pierce the stem of a daisy and thread another through the hole. Keep going until you have a lovely chain.
Try orienteering
Can you find your way using a map and compass? Have a go at our orienteering trail at Hardwick and see if you can follow the right route.
Catch a butterfly
Bring a butterfly net with you and try to catch some beautiful butterflies and magical moths in the park.
Build a den
Take part in our August activities this summer and have a go at our holiday boredom busters. There'll be lots of outdoor activities for children to join, including building dens and making mud pies.
Climb a really big hill
Take a walk in Hardwick Park and climb up the really big hill towards the Hall. The view from the top is definitely worth it.
Find treasure
Pinpoint the location of the geocache or treasure box hidden at Hardwick using a GPS device or your smartphone. Once you've found the geocache, what will you discover inside?
Fly a kite
'Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height.' Hardwick is situated right on top of a hill so it gets breezy up here - perfect for kite flying. Bring yours along when you visit.
