Join us for another adventure-filled Summer of Play at Attingham. Come along and join the fun every day from 5 July to 1 September 2025.

With different play zones to discover, and a daily calendar of workshops and activities throughout August, bring along the family for an Attingham Summer filled with ways to play.

There is lots on offer for you to take part in this Summer, including a straw castle! Get active in the sporty zone, create your own shelter in the den building area or, if you're visiting with younger children, discover a world of construction play in the pre-school zone.

With a varied programme on offer throughout August please check the Attingham website and social media channels for updates on what’s going on and when, or at Visitor Reception on the day of your visit. There is a great line-up of summer fun activities planned, including music and dance performances, science shows, mini archery and much more.
