You may have played chess before, but have you tried giant chess? Join us for some fun in the sun and enjoy a range of garden games suitable for all the family. Challenge each other to a game of croquet on our historic cedar lawn, find the secret spot behind the Stables and try your hand at giant chess, or head down to the Stables Courtyard to find traditional toys and modern favourites. Whilst you’re here, pick up a pre-loved book from our second-hand bookshop, or treat yourself to a coffee or refreshing ice cream from our new coffee pod.
*Please note: on Wednesdays between 2:00pm - 4:00pm the croquet set is reserved for the Croquet Club.
