There’s lots of fun to be had this summer at Dunham Massey.
What to look out for from 20 June to 7 September:
North Park Play Hub - the main hub for Summer of Play. Giant deckchairs and tiny tipis take over the North Park. Clamber on the log pile, strike a pose on the stage or maybe start a band. Let imaginations run free - how will you play today?
Sensory Walk - slow down and follow your senses. This short walk leads you round the gentle sloping paths outside the visitor centre. Ideal for under 5s and their grownups.
Picnic and Play in the Gardens - play together, relax and unwind in the gardens this summer. Discover games on the lawn or find and conquer the mount! When you need a break, borrow a blanket or lounge on a deckchair as you enjoy a picnic surrounded by nature.
Find even more ways to play during the school holidays!
Play Every Day (19 July – 31 Aug) From circus skills to storytelling, check the summer schedule for daily activities in the North Park Play Hub.
Why not enjoy an ice cream in the Ice cream Parlour or relax at a shady picnic spot in the garden? Put your sun hat on and come and make the most of being outdoors this summer.
Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
