Bring your family together at Lacock

Family visitors in the Cloisters at Lacock Abbey, Wiltshire — Lacock or Hogwarts?

There are lots of things at Lacock for families to enjoy all year round. The Abbey grounds are perfect for exploring all year round, with streams, gargoyles and a Botanic Garden all waiting to be found.

Family fun all year round

We have different games, trails and events throughout the year. Many are free, though normal admission charges apply. You can download some of our trails or spotter sheets before you arrive, or ask at Visitor Reception.

Lacock Abbey is also a great place to tick off some of the National Trust's '50 Things To Do Before You're 11¾' (check out the link at the bottom of the page if you want to find them all).
