Fungi Festival

Look forward to family fun(gi) this autumn at Emmetts Garden. There’s plenty of family-friendly fun throughout the Fungi Festival including activity trails, half term games on the meadow and creative workshops for kids. Find out more details and book ahead for workshops on our Fungi Festival web page.

Family facilities

There are baby-changing facilities at the entrance to the site, next to the Visitor Centre, as well as at the Old Stables Tearoom. Please note that bikes and scooters are not suitable for the pathways at Emmetts Garden.

Wild play area

Get stuck into energetic adventures in the wild play area located just past the Old Stables Tearoom. Kids will love scrambling over the climbing frame and play net, walking across the balance beams and crawling through the tunnels. Don’t miss the fairy ring of toadstools. Visit us for unforgettable outdoor fun.

Picnics

The meadow makes the perfect spot for a picnic with glorious views over Ide Hill. Bring a blanket, or sit at one of the picnic tables, and relax with delicious food under sunny skies.
