Become a mini‑beast detective this May Half Term on our family‑friendly trail

  • Booking not needed

This May Half Term, join us for a brand‑new family adventure, Pests and garden guests trail. Grab a trail sheet and set off through our gardens and castle as you hunt for the tiny creatures that call this place home, from friendly garden guests to the pesky pests our conservation team keeps a close eye on. Follow the clues, explore behind the scenes, and see if you can complete your bug‑spotting bingo board. Along the way you’ll discover fascinating facts about insects, learn how we look after the treasures in the house, and enjoy a playful mix of nature, history, and detective work. Perfect for curious kids, nature lovers, and families looking for a fun day out.
