Christmas at Croome:

Saturday 25 November - Friday 5 January

• Seven Birds of Croome family sculpture trail - The very talented artist MrASingh has worked with us to help local community groups decorate large bird sculptures for our Seven Birds of Croome parkland installation and winter trail (free to explore). Expect brightly coloured sculptures dotted around Croome's parkland bringing plenty of festive cheer. Pick up a family activity sheet with a pack of pencils, try out the activities and uncover a secret word as you follow the trail, revealing a location where you can turn your sheet into an origami aeroplane and send it flying through the air. Once you've finished the trail head back to visitor welcome to collect your lucky dip prize. Activity sheet, including pencils and lucky dip prize costs £2 (normal admission applies).
• Magical origami installation and elegant sparkle - Visit the House at Croome to soak up the festive atmosphere and explore the magical origmai installation in one of the historical stairways of the House. It's a perfect opportunity for capturing creative photographs of your festive day out.

Natural Play Area

The Natural Play Area is a great place to explore inventive and creative play. They can test their balance on tree trunks, sit on the wooden throne and scramble over logs amongst the trees. They can explore make-believe in the giant birds nest, with mud kitchens, endless sticks for den building and loose parts to create their own space inside the dens.
