Summer of Play at Hanbury Hall

Join us for a jam-packed summer of games and activities in the gardens at Hanbury Hall from Saturday 11 July - Monday 31 August. 10am to 4pm.

Join us for another edition of our Summer of Play event, inspired by summer fetes held by Sir Harry and Lady Georgina Vernon. The couple held a fete in June every year for Hanbury village to attend. The gardens will be transformed into a summer fete style experience, with a riot colourful bunting, bell tents, and straw bales.

Get ready to play as you explore each activity area throughout the gardens. Challenge your family to fun competitions including sack racing, wheelbarrow racing, and play traditional fayre games including coconut shy, hoopla, and ball in the bucket. This year, you will also be able to explore our Pokémon space where you can try your hand at five Mega Evolution challenges.

Dress up as historic characters and put on your own show, and get your heart pumping with games of football, badminton, and cricket. There's plenty to do for all ages, including activities for pre-schoolers to enjoy in the toddler zone, including load of loose parts play including building blocks, balance boards and musical instruments.

We also have a variety of workshops for you to take part in. These include circus skills, dance workshops, bracelet making, art workshops, and music workshops. Facepainting will return again this year on select days.

Summer of Play is supported by Pokémon.
