Summer of Play is back at Tinkley Gate! From 18 July - 31 August there'll be free, family-friendly activities on every day.

With three play zones to discover dotted around Tinkley Gate, Woodchester Park this summer, there's plenty to make a full day out for all the family!

Get active on the Rainbow Rush with some friendly competition: spacehopper races, a game of rainbow tag, or a mini obstacle course!

Wind your way along the wildlife yoga trail for a change of pace in the Orchard. Have you ever tried the frog pose?

Or visit the creative corner to unleash your artistic side at one of the easels or cook up a storm at the mud kitchen.

There'll also be bookable Workshop Wednesdays to learn how to make a kite, create a tree spirit and more.

If you're feeling peckish, grab a wood-fired pizza from Tinkley Gate Cafe or a scoop of ice cream to enjoy on those hot summer days.

With many different activities, there’s plenty to excite all ages of children (and adults!).
