Summer Adventure at Dudmaston
Sunday 20 July - Sunday 31 August 2025, 10:30am-4pm (daily except Fridays and Saturdays)
This summer, bring the whole family to Dudmaston Hall for a day of outdoor fun and adventure. You can race around on space hoppers, challenge each other to a speedy race, or head to the Dingle to play a classic game of pooh sticks in the stream. The kids will love playing wild in the woods, or staging a fun play with costumes and props from the play box.
Get creative with art at the easels, or listen for the sounds of birds in our birdsong sound zone. Take a moment to relax while cloud-watching and spotting shapes in the sky, or feel the excitement of rolling down the big hill. When it’s time to unwind, the quiet zone offers a peaceful spot to rest.
Summer of Play in Comer Woods
Saturday 19 July - Sunday 31 August 2025, 10am-4pm, daily
Just down the road from Dudmaston Hall is Comer Woods. Turn left out of Dudmaston's main entrance. Comer Woods is 1.5 miles along the A442 towards Bridgnorth. Here you'll find waymarked trails, toilets, refreshments and for the first time this summer, join us for 'Into the Woods' - a fun filled family play festival in the meadow. Find games galore, sports activities, music and more in Heath Meadow. There are endless ways to play for all ages, all summer long.
With different play areas to discover, and a growing calendar of facilitated workshops during August, bring along the whole family for a summer filled with fun in the woods. Borrow a bike and explore the woodland at your own pace, get active in the sporty zone or take to the stage and put on your very own summer show.
Things to do at Dudmaston Hall
Playground
Head for the swings, slide and climbing frame at Dudmaston Hall. The playground is close to Visitor Reception and the Tea-room.
Traditional Games
Borrow traditional garden games from Visitor Reception, have fun challenging your friends and family to a competition in the Orchard.
Dingle and Big Pool walks
Set off on your own woodland adventure amongst the tall trees in the Dingle. Play pooh sticks in the stream or look out for wildlife on the water. There are some steep climbs and areas of uneven terrain in this part of the estate, which mean that these walks aren't buggy friendly.
Galleries
Pick up a 'Closer to Nature with Pixie' trail and set off on an adventure, find signs of nature all around the grounds and gardens, but also in the Galleries! Use all five senses to get closer to nature with Pixie (our friendly black and white cat!)
Gardens
Enjoy some fresh air, beautiful views and a variety of plants and flowers in the garden. See all the different planting, trees, shrubs and flowers and how they change through the year.
