Mottisfont’s Summer of Play is one that you won't want to miss with 7 play zones to suit every age and every interest.

1. Burn off some energy in the Active Zone with football goal scoring practice, egg and spoon racing and a fluttery rainbow tunnel to dash through.

2. Are you a nature-lover? Get hands on in the Nature Zone, explore cloud formations, identify signs and sounds of summer, grab a pair of binoculars and an insect identification kit and discover the beauty our Mottisfont countryside. Get busy den building or scrambling through our wild play area. Mini tepees make a shady retreat to plan your nature based fun.

3. Filled with dramatic flair? The Imagination Zone is calling you! Take sail on our pirate ship, add to your circus skills and get honing your acrobatic wobble board skills!

4. If it's all about play, the Loose Parts Zone is a treasure trove for the imagination. From giant Tetris to build-your-own marble runs and jolly giant Jenga, the sky is the limit when it comes to creating your own fun.

5. Our younger visitors are joining us in the Beech Circle in the Under 5’s Zone, with a music making station, super-sized construction materials, a play kitchen, and wooden stepping stones.

6. If creativity is your thing, there are opportunities to do chalk art, tell stories and engage in imaginative games in the Creative Zone.

7. On top of an already jam-packed Summer of Play, discover all-new Pokémon zone. Get stuck into the Pokémon Trading Card Game, flex your skills and collect Mega Evolution stickers!

With facilitated workshops and sessions to come, stand by for a wonderful summer ahead!
