Ilam Park: Clay Drop In Workshop

Drop by between 10:30 - 14:30 to make your own clay creation inspired by Ilam Park. Create your own dream mini Hall, does it have turrets? Does it have a tower? You decide!

  • Booking not needed

Pop in anytime between 10:30 and 14:30 and get hands‑on with a fun, imaginative clay‑making session inspired by the magic of Ilam Park. You’ll sculpt your very own mini Ilam Hall—and this time, you call the shots. Towering turrets, secret towers, wiggly windows, or a grand entrance fit for a hero… if you can dream it, you can shape it. A playful, creative drop‑in activity perfect for families, curious makers, and anyone who loves turning a lump of clay into something brilliant.

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.
