Feeling crafty? Come along and get creative this half-term, create your own feathered friend to take home with you. Drop in at any time and take your turn to make your own bird-inspired creation.
Wilderness play area – open daily
Check out the wilderness play area or spend time in the den zone and build your own hideaway. Clamber on the stacks, cross the rope bridge to the slides and choose from one of the swings – the pendulum is perfect for the more adventurous. The youngest family members haven’t been left, out with tunnels, balance beams and a play house to get their imagination going. There’s a mini clamber stack for smaller legs and accessible bucket seats in swing spots.
Visiting the Hall
We can’t guarantee sunshine, so if it rains, head indoors to the Hall. Discover the stories of the country house and the people who have shaped its history. Little ones can spot the faces in the carvings and count animals in the tapestries.
Dogs are welcome in most areas of the garden, but please keep them out of the play area for everyone’s enjoyment. This is a promotional feature in partnership with The National Trust. Photos © National Trust Images / Annapurna Mellor & John Millar.
