Summer of Play at Chirk Castle

Step into a tropical paradise at Chirk Castle and enjoy an unforgettable family day out filled with adventure, creativity and play.

Explore a series of exciting sandpit zones nestled among tropical plants and lush grasses and see if you can build a sandcastle to rival Chirk. With sand funnels, sieves and scales at your fingertips, little imaginations can run wild as they experiment, explore and enjoy hours of hands-on fun.

There are plenty of challenges to tackle as you journey between the zones too - hop across stepping stones, test your balance on beams and wind through weave poles as fast as you can.

Still got energy to burn? Challenge friends and family to a game of volleyball, throw a frisbee across the lawn or join in with colourful parachute play. You can even create your own summer soundtrack with a collection of musical instruments.

When it’s time to relax, stretch out in a hammock or recline in a deck chair and soak up the tropical atmosphere. Get creative with nature-inspired art using shells and stones, or try a few gentle yoga poses before continuing your adventure around the castle grounds.
