Summer of Play at Clumber Park

Every day offer

Taking place from Saturday 19 July - Sunday 7 September, Clumber Park's Summer of Play offers 9 interactive zones, crammed full of imaginative ways to play.

Active Zone: Burn off some energy with football, badminton, hockey, rounders and a run track.

Creative Zone: Unleash your creativity with opportunities to do chalk art, dance on the stage with scarves and ribbons and engage in imaginative games.

Nature Zone: Are you a nature lover? Get hands-on and explore our accessible dig beds and mud kitchen, and have fun in the sand pit.

Performance Zone: Filled with dramatic flair? You are being called to the stage! Dress up and put on a play in the theatre area, or engage with our mini Clumber Park.

Loose Parts Zone: If it's all about play, this area is a treasure trove for the imagination. With everything from a construction area to big lawn games and play town to den building.

Toddler Zone: just by the busy field you'll find a quieter area with a marquee for toddler-centred play.

Dog Agility Zone: alongside the Front Field, this area ensures every member of the family can get involved in the fun.

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. 

The new Sensory Zone in the walled kitchen garden will provide a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle for those needing a calmer space.

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 - 16.00.

Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
