Summer of Play at Dyrham Park
Drop in this summer for a whole host of family-focussed activities across the 270-acre site.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
There will be a festival-feel this summer at Dyrham Park.
Alongside the play area at Old Lodge will be imaginative, performance and creative play, with a mini stage, costumes and a beat box, building blocks, a ball run, a mud kitchen and a sensory barefoot walk.
Down on the grass by the house, you can lose yourself in a bamboo and bunting mini-maze, or try out some games or jumping and limbo challenges. Here you'll also find the meeting point gazebo for our weekly summer sessions: nature explorers on Tuesdays; art adventurers on Wednesdays and thrillseeker Thursdays which include circus skills, morris dancing, archery and other activities.
Don't miss the Pokémon Trading Card Game Mega Evolution Trail. Team up as a family to search the gardens for each Mega Evolution Pokémon, discover their powers, and complete your own challenges.
