The longest Apple Peel Challenge is back for 2025! Full of fun (and concentration!), take the challenge and win a themed prize. Younger visitors can also enjoy some apple printing.

We are delighted to announce the return of the Pauper Choir who will be performing a range of traditional and familiar songs throughout the day.

Playful yoga sessions will take place for children at 14.00 and join the volunteers for building tours at various times, including a BSL interpreted tour at 11.45.
