Summer of Play at Sheringham Park

Enjoy fun-filled family days out and exciting adventures at Sheringham Park this summer with the National Trust’s Summer of Play.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event

Summer of Play returns to Sheringham Park with free activities and equipment.

Have fun as a family among nature and find a range of sporting-inspired games and challenges filling the events field opposite the visitor barn.

Bring a picnic, visit the Courtyard Cafè, or choose a scoop or two at the ice cream parlour before delving further into the park. 

The dog-free Bower Garden is a’buzz with life at this time of year, as the wildflower meadow, pond and insect hotel teem with tiny creatures.

Intrepid explorers can climb two viewing towers nestled in the Wild Garden or venture further along the Repton Route and tackle the 115 hillside steps and 60 steps up the Gazebo tower. Breathtaking views await of the oak tree canopy, Poppy Line steam trains chuntering through the landscape, and to the coast beyond.  

Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
