May play days

Come and join us for some family fun this half term, with games and crafting in the Stableyard and a spring scavenger hunt sheet for the garden.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Join us this May half term at the historic Stableyard for a fun-filled family day out. Enjoy volunteer-led crafts, hanging out with the hobby horses, playing games and zooming about on ride-on tractors. And there's more fun inside the granary where you can put on a show with the puppet theatre or discover games and books under the branches of the story tree. Don’t forget to pick up your spring scavenger hunt sheet at Visitor Reception on your way in to see what you can find as you wander around the garden.
