Summer of Play at Croft Castle

Fill your summer with adventure at Croft Castle. Embark on a medieval journey and explore exciting activity zones on the festival lawn in front of the castle. Here’s just some of the ways to play this summer:

* Performance Zone: Step into medieval times with props and dress-up fun as you create your own stories on our mini festival stage. Look out for Fancy Dress Friday’s when we invite you to visit us in fancy dress.

* Creative Zone: Unleash your family’s creativity with exciting crafts inspired by castle adventures.

* Sports Zone: Burn off energy with games every day that have a medieval twist. Look out for feature games on Tournament Tuesday’s.

*Constructive zone: Let imaginations run wild as you build your own castle inspired constructions with unique materials and create a medieval soundtrack using unexpected instruments.

* Nature Zone: Enter this area for a chance to slow down, explore at your own pace, and connect with the sights, sounds, and textures of nature in a calm, mindful way.

* Quiet and imaginative zones: Step into the castle and dive into enchanting tales in our cosy reading space. For those who love to dress up, explore the collection of medieval hats, from playful jesters to noble helmets. Unleash your imagination and become any character you desire.

All activities are included with normal admission to Croft Castle.
