Summer of play at Newark Park

Come to Newark Park this summer to experience a summer party in the garden running through the school holidays. This year is inspired by Bob's hospitality when he used to host parties for local community groups.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join in with the summer party and get active and creative with a wide range of activities in the great outdoors this summer.

Why not have an ice cream at the Tea pavilion and have a go at the lawn games? Or find a shady spot for a picnic in the garden and create your own musical performance?

Activities will be free of charge, normal admission charges apply.

Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
