Celebrate Father's day this year by making memories and bird boxes out in the sunshine with our wonderful Ranger team!

This family friendly event is the perfect craft for Father's and families of all ages. Start the day with a craft and then make use of our walks and our Manifold Tearoom to make it a full day out to remember!
Book a slot between 10am - 1pm and with the help of our rangers, put together a bird box kit and decorate it ready to put up at home.

Meet us underneath the Italian Garden outside the arches.
There's lots to do at Ilam Park, play in the Hidden Play Garden, pick up a bargain in the Stables Bookshop and a tasty treat in the Manifold Tearoom, it's a full day of fun guaranteed this Easter.
There is no entry fee for Ilam Park, only a charge for car parking for non members. This event, like all our events is open to members of the National Trust and non-members. Money raised from our events goes back into looking after the White Peak.
