Summer of Play: Games galore in the house and gardens
Discover pockets of play in the house and games galore in the gardens this summer at Nostell.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Get ready for some outdoor fun and games in the gardens as you try your hand at skittles, boules, giant Jenga, quoits, and bean bag toss – perfect for a bit of friendly family competition.
Head around to the lawn behind the house, to get creative with build, stacking, inventing and letting imaginations run wild. From castles to obstacle courses, the only limit is their creativity.
Continue your adventures indoors for even more fun with puzzles and games and fun learning. Challenge your family to a round of supersized snakes and ladders, discover the incredible dolls' house and enjoy games and playful moments in a cool, calm setting.
Every Thursday from 11am to 3.30pm, drop into the Workshop in the house for hands-on family craft sessions. From pop-up paper flowers to worry dolls and more, there's something new to make each week.
All these activities are free to join (standard admission applies) – just bring your imagination.
