There’s lots of fun to be had this summer at Upton House and Gardens. From 18 July to 6 September, join us for sack races, a hobby horse course and even try your hand at reading the weather with our hands-on weather station. Why not enjoy an ice cream in the Pavilion cafe or relax at a shady picnic spot in the garden. Put your sun hat on and come and make the most of being outdoors this summer.
Explore a range of play across the property with active games like hoola hoops and a Tudor-inspired race in the sunken garden. Budding thespians can perform their own puppet show in the orchard and all ages will love the giant games like Connect 4 and noughts and crosses in the plant centre.
