Summer of Play at The Workhouse and Infirmary

Join us at The Workhouse and Infirmary for a summer of traditional fun and games.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Stack ‘em high and watch ‘em fly as you enjoy a game of Tin Can Alley, roll them dice and have a go at workhouse yaztzee or keep it simple with a game of classic dominoes. There’s fun for the whole family this summer… but remember to keep a watchful eye out for the Master!

Sponsored by Starling Bank. All games included in standard admission.
