Summer of Play 

This summer, families can enjoy a season of outdoor fun and imagination at Tattershall Castle. From Wednesday 23 July to Wednesday 3 September, the castle’s historic grounds will be buzzing with activity, offering the perfect way to make the most of the sunshine.

Children can dive into classic lawn games, get creative with imaginative play zones, and follow a playful family trail that winds through the medieval setting. With plenty of space to run, explore and relax, it’s an ideal day out for all ages.

Bring a picnic, soak up the views, and let little ones take the lead in storytelling and adventure. All activities are free-flowing and included with general admission – no booking required.
