Event Details

A day out with the kids at Castle Howard just became even
more adventurous and intriguing. Now they can join into the treetops of
Yorkshire’s newest adventure playground, Skelf Island. For centuries the Skelves have inhabited a secret world, over the water from Castle Howard, causing mischief and mayhem high up in the trees, interacting with birds and protecting wildlife. Now they have become curious about the humans that visit and want to explore and play with them.

Ingenious treetop nest structures connected by rope bridges, slides, nets and climbing equipment will allow the Skelves to take young visitors or on an adventure like no other. Skelf island is included in a gardens ticket. Read the Little Vikings review of Skelf Island here.

There’s a jam-packed programme of animal and nature-related activities at Nunnington this summer, including the Bare Bones exhibition. From the tiny Papua New Guinea frog which measures only 7.7mm in length, to the blue whale which grows to over 30 metres, this summer exhibition explores the form and function of the skeleton in animal physiology. Get up close to the intricate skeletons of a large Burmese python, a wallaby in mid run and the delicate bones of a crow amongst others.

Why not head outdoors for the Summer of Sport – can you run like a cheetah or jump as high as a cricket? Discover what’s hidden in the Dig Deep sandpits and follow the Dino Discovery Trail. On Wild Wednesdays, hunt for bugs and butterflies and on Fridays, try a family yoga session! Bring a bit of magic to your day on Saturday 3 August from popular family entertainer ‘Just Josh’ as he brings his interactive family magic show to the garden (Booking essential).

All summer, come and get creative with us! Dress up a Lord Mayor, design your own postcard, or help us decorate the front of the House. Come into the magnificent State Room and let your creativity flow – we can’t wait to see what you make.

TASTY TREATS

Everyday at 11.30am and 2.30pm, we will be whipping up some tasty treats in our historic kitchen. We’ve dipped into our banqueting archives and picked all your favourite things… Georgian style!
