Summer of Play
From babies to older children, there is something for every family this summer at Mompesson House.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Summer of Play has gone Regency! Why not take part in an immersive character trail in the house, make your own fan, indulge in a spot of croquet or get drawing in our creative garden zone?
There is also a special dedicated baby section to our Summer of Play with a selection of sensory baby toys (as well as extra-large muslins).
Our walled garden is the perfect space for young (and young at heart) to play.
Why not enjoy an ice cream in the tea-room or browse for a good summer read in our second-hand bookshop. Make the most of Mompesson House this summer.
Please note outdoor activities may not be available in bad weather.
