Summer of Play: Free to Play in the Parkland

This summer, Nostell is your go-to destination for unforgettable family days out. Spend long summer days filled with games, picnics, and pockets of adventure – there’s something for everyone, from toddlers to teens.

Enjoy a wide range of free play activities including football, badminton, rugby, cricket & more – just grab some equipment from the trolley and play all day.

Head to Joiner's Wood for wild play and den building or set off on two wheels into the wider parkland and discover two woodland cycle trails – perfect for little riders and young explorers.

Whether you're kicking a ball, building a fort, or cruising the trails on two wheels, make the parkland at Nostell your summer playground – and it’s all free!

Pack a picnic, bring your bikes, and make a day of it.

Looking for more ideas for the summer? We are excited to welcome Featherstone Rovers to Nostell every Monday and Thursday during the summer for organised sports sessions. See the events page for more information and to book your place. There's also lots more opportunities for play in the house and gardens.

Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
