Things to do with family at The Firs

Spend time surrounded by musical inspiration in the pretty cottage and garden at The Firs this autumn and make music with instruments in the sound garden.
Sound Garden
Choose between the three large instruments that wind around the pagoda, surrounded by trees and beautiful plants. There’s the vertical xylophone, hammock xylophone and a metallic swirl to create all sorts of tunes.
We have the instruments just add your imagination. You might even have an Elgar in the making?
Using our specially crafted music makers (also known as golf balls on sticks) create your own tune and share it on our social media use #soundgarden.
Cottage garden
After making music there is lots of exploring to be done in the woodland areas and pretty cottage garden, with bug hotels to discover and an opportunity sit next to a life size statue of Elgar himself on one of our garden benches.
