Summer of Play at Clumber Park
Summer of Play is back for its fourth year with a refreshed programme featuring six interactive play zones packed with experiences and activities designed to spark imagination and inspire adventure.
Every day offer
Taking place from Saturday 18 July - Sunday 6 September, Clumber Park's Summer of Play offers 6 interactive zones, crammed full of imaginative ways to play.
Burn off some energy in the Active Zone with a football pitch, target nets, a 40ft cricket batting cage, pickleball, junior hockey and more.
Head to the Imagination Zone with two stages to perform on, a music area, chalk boards, and a mini Clumber Park to explore.
There’s a focus on the senses in the Nature Zone with bean bag toss, sand pits, a rainbow tunnel, music tent, and camp building.
It's all about play in the Loose Parts Zone, where children can enjoy den building, a cable runway, stepping stones and a construction area.
The Toddler Zone provides an enclosed area for little ones with ride on toys, a sensory wall, a sandbox, and interactive maze boards, complete with plenty of shade sails and seating.
On top of an already jam-packed Summer of Play, discover an all-new Pokémon zone with straw bale arena at the centre of the Front Field.
Away from Summer of Play, explore a little further afield and discover the Heritage Zone in the Lincoln Stables. Enjoy traditional playground games, skipping ropes, chalk on the floor & dress up.
Don't forget your cameras! Our #Clumber Hollywood-style letters make for a perfect photo opportunity. The giant, colourful letters will be situated opposite the Front Field.
Free event, admission into the park applies. Children should be supervised at all times. Summer of Play will be open every day from 10.00 - 17.00.
Summer of Play is supported by Pokemon.
Lakins Amusements will also be joining in the fun this year and will have their Dodgems and Lightning Speedway rides alongside some old fashioned stall games. Find them by the Duke's Orchard in Cow Pastures. Cash and card payments accepted.
