Discover 7 different play areas to choose from. This year you can discover an all new Pokémon zone. Get stuck into challenges, flex your skills and collect Mega Evolution stickers!

For those who want to burn off some steam, there’s frisbee golf, Fete games, and loose parts play to climb and build. Unleash your inner artist and get creative with arts equipment. What a performance - there’s even a mini theatre with dressing up. Head over to the nature zone to identify bugs and play in the mud kitchen.
