Summer of Play

Join a festival of fun in the parkland, transformed into a play hub for the summer holidays.

  • Booking not needed
  • Admission applies

Follow the paths through the summer grasses and let your imaginations run wild.

The parkland will be divided into different play zones so there's a something for everyone. Be a storyteller or music maker in the performance area, dress up, play some badminton or create something special at the craft gazebo, take a walk on the wild side in the nature area on a barefoot walk and meet the ranger. You can even scale the heights on Wiltshire Outdoor Learning Team's pop up 7 metre climbing wall from 29 July - 2 August.

All activities are included in the cost of admission with no need to book. Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
