Summer of Play at Anglesey Abbey

Get ready for a beach-themed Summer of Play at Anglesey Abbey, sponsored by Starling Bank. Bursting with energy, we have an activity-packed day suitable for the whole family during the summer holidays.

Have a play in the giant sand pit, take part in some seaside arts & crafts and challenge your friends to a game of badminton or volleyball. There will be five creative and interactive seaside play zones around the gardens where you can get your creativity flowing and learn more about nature at the seaside. These zones with multiple activities will be available to enjoy every day in the gardens from 19 July to 31 August. There's plenty to keep you busy and coming back for more throughout the summer holidays.

In addition to the above activities, crazy golf will be back from 19 July to 10 August, and you can enjoy weekly art & craft workshops. There will also be a one-off live sand sculpture carving day on Wednesday 13 August. Come and watch Sand In Your Eye's master sculptors at work as they create a giant replica of the Anglesey Abbey house out of sand. The sculpture will stay in place for the rest of the summer holidays, weather permitting.

Normal admission applies for all activities. Anglesey Abbey is open 9.30am to 5.30pm daily throughout the summer holidays (last entry 4.30pm). Please note that there will be an additional charge for some of the activities, like crazy golf and additional sand sculpture workshops on 13 August. Head back to our Upcoming Events page to book.
