"Charis is a young warrior from Corinth in Ancient Greece, who has recently joined a trading expedition to the mountainous region of Macedonia, protecting the precious cargo. Charis’s best friend is a wool merchant named Cleon. As the group passes by Mount Olympus, home of the Greek Gods, Cleon mysteriously disappears. One of the merchants claims he saw Cleon being taken by a God to the top of the mountain. Charis decides to leave the group behind and climb up Olympus on his own, in order to find out what happened to his friend..."

Take the role of Charis and save Cleon! Our activities on offer include fun outdoor games, such as 'Apollo's Obstacle Course' and 'Zeus's Disguises', an original card game, as well as a craft activity in our Long Gallery, where children (and adults!) are invited to create their own sun print using pressed plants and flowers!

Explore the playground

Open 9am until 4.30pm, the playground is situated at the edge of the parkland behind the Stableyard.

With a swing, a slide, climbers and wooden tipis, the playground is the perfect place for little explorers to let off some steam and spend time in nature.

The playground is suitable for children under 12 years of age. Please ensure children are supervised at all times. Assistance dogs only.
