Summer of Play at Baddesley

Join us for a full day of fun during the summer holidays and let your imagination run wild with our Summer of Play activities on the front lawn at Baddesley Clinton.

Embrace the family-festival feel this summer and enjoy a variety of fun activities in playful celebration of all things performance, imagination and creativity – perfect for young creatives, adventure seekers and families ready to make memories in the sunshine.

• Calling all budding poet laureates! - Visit the poetry tent and create a poem on our old-fashioned typewriters. Complete the nature trail and create your very own nature inspired poem or maybe use your day out at Baddesley for inspiration and write your very own poem about your day to take home.
• A stage set for imagination - Pick a costume, step into your own scene-stealing moment and Oscar winning performance on Baddesley’s very own garden stage. Act out your favourite book character or read your poem to your friends and family.
• Activities for our younger visitors - Step into our outdoor activity hub and enjoy playing with our sand and water stations. We’ve got balance beams and plenty of pots and pans – perfect for imaginative play in the summer sunshine.
• Outdoor games - Get active this summer and burn of some steam with traditional games the whole family can enjoy. From badminton to tug-of-war and cup walkers to space hoppers there’s plenty of fun to be had!

If you’re feeling peckish and need a break after hours of play, enjoy a delicious pizza from our wood-fired pizza oven or set up a picnic surrounded by nature. Don’t forget we’ll be serving ice lollies in the restaurant and soft serve Bennetts ice cream in the kiosk for the perfect summer treat.

All activities are included with normal admission to Baddesley Clinton. For all the details, please click here.
