Dawn of the Dinos

Don your explorer's hat and stomp around with your favourite dinosaurs this summer holiday.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Enter the Nunnington that time forgot with outdoor dinosaur-themed games around the gardens and main lawn for the family.

Around the gardens you can also find a quiet creative hub with art supplies and children can get active in the Lion's Den play area where little explorers can climb up, over, and wobble along a natural obstacle course, including tree stump steps to jump across, a rope bridge to climb across and a wooden climbing frame to conquer. Inside the house, there are family-friendly art events and activities.

Normal admission applies, with free entry for National Trust members and under fives.
