Have lots of fun at our action-packed Summer of Play. From 18 July to 6 September, families will be spoilt for choice – with games, crafts, sports and so much more. Challenge friends to a game of leaf bingo, have a go at gully racing or follow the barefoot path in the Kitchen Garden. Why not enjoy an ice cream, relaxing in front of Longshaw’s café or find a shady picnic spot within the estate? Put your sun hat on and come and make the most of being outdoors this summer.
Free drop in activities daily
Longshaw Estate extends a very warm welcome to anyone who wants to take part in our nature themed events and simply let the spontaneous spirit of play take over.
Drop in for our daily activities which run throughout the school holidays. There’s something for all the family; whether you’d like to test your skills at pine cone mini-golf or take time to relax at the wonderous cloud gazing station.
You can spot Longshaw's colourful bird species, from our bird hide or spy minibeasts and insects using special magnifying glasses.
Each Tuesday and Wednesday throughout the summer holidays, the Moorland Discovery Centre will host games, activities or crafting sessions. Check the website for details for when sessions are running. All ages are very welcome, but as a guide, Moorland Discovery Centre activity sessions are designed for children aged 5-10.
