Big Summer Sports Day
Get ready to stretch your legs, fire up your competitive spirit, and make unforgettable memories at our Big Summer Sports Day — a joyful celebration of family, fun, and a little friendly rivalry!
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
This isn’t just any day out — it’s your chance to race, laugh, and cheer your way through a lively lineup of classic and quirky games, all set against the stunning backdrop of Rowallane’s front lawn and gardens. From egg-and-spoon and sack races to tug-of-war and garden games with a twist, there's something for every age and energy level.
Families can team up or face off as they explore a trail of activity stations scattered across the grounds. Whether you're reliving your school sports day glory or watching little ones take their first tumble in a three-legged race, it’s all about joining in, letting go, and enjoying some good old-fashioned fun in the sun.
So bring your trainers, pack your picnic, and get ready for a grand day out where everyone’s a champion — win or lose!
