Summer of Play at Tyntesfield

Discover a summer jam-packed with fun here at Tyntesfield from Saturday 18 July to Sunday 6 September.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Follow the bunting to the vibrant and exotic Paradise, where a summer of adventure awaits.

Discover a variety of activity zones designed to inspire creativity, encourage movement, and help families connect with nature. From staging your own play and getting hands-on with nature, to challenging friends and family at crazy golf or giant chess, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Get creative in the messy play tent, or look out for special visits from The Story Cellar, bringing an interactive Gothic adventure story to life for audiences of all ages.

With plenty of shade, seating, picnic space, and nearby refreshments, it’s the perfect setting for a memorable day out filled with fun, exploration, and, of course, play.
