Get ready to play as you step into a world of creativity and colour, with all the excitement of a traditional village fete mixed in. This year’s Summer of Play is inspired by the magnificent wall paintings inside the Hall, and the Victorian fetes held by the Vernon family.

There are also activities for young children to enjoy including building blocks, a mud kitchen, and sensory games.
Enjoy a fun-filled timetable of events on weekdays which will include: Mondays: Storytelling Tuesday: Circus Skills Wednesday: Bracelet Making Thursday: Dance Workshops Friday: Art Workshops Please check the face painting event page for face painting dates.
