Summer of Play at Emmetts Garden
Enjoy fun, active, and musical play at Emmetts Garden this summer.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
We have a fully stocked play cupboard on the main field for the whole family to enjoy. Play a game of cricket, create a running course with our sports cones, play a spot of badminton, or practice your hula hooping skills. There is something for everyone.
New this year, there are musical installations to be found throughout the garden to create your own music amidst the picturesque and blooming gardens.
After a cup of tea in the Old Stables Tearoom you can head down to our Wild Play Area to find our climbing frame, tunnel and swings.
Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank
