May half term at Chirk Castle
Celebrate one of nature’s most iconic birds and enjoy a week of outdoor play at Chirk Castle.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
This May half-term, join us at Chirk Castle as we shine a spotlight on one of the countryside’s most iconic and much-loved birds - the curlew.
Following the recent community curlew parade, we’re continuing the celebration with a week of family-friendly activities that honour our feathered friends.
At Home Farm, discover a vibrant display of children’s artwork from the parade. Families can also enjoy an interactive installation that brings the curlew’s story to life and listen out for the curlew’s distinctive call.
On Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 May, don’t miss storytelling sessions with Jake the Storyteller. Gather the family for magical tales of birds great and small, from soaring eagles to playful robins – perfect for sparking imaginations.
And there’s even more to enjoy in the gardens, with fun outdoor games and activities to keep young explorers busy throughout the holiday.
Normal admission charges apply. National Trust members and under 5s can enter for free.
