Summer of Play

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

  • Booking not needed
  • Admission applies

Follow the paths through the summer grass and let your imaginations run wild at Lacock Abbey. Den-building, craft-making, barefoot walking, mud pie-baking, match-winning and make-believing: how will you play this summer holiday?

Craft workshops every weekend with Wiltshire Scrapstore, and climbing wall with Wiltshire Outdoor Learning Team first and last week of the holidays.

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