Stockeld Park’s Summer of Fun Is Here

Stockeld Park’s Summer of Fun is back, and you’re going to need to arrive early to fit it all in! It’s open every day from 18th July to 6th September 2026, with 40 acres of activities, adventure play and live entertainment to explore. Open from 9.30am until 6pm, there’s plenty to keep children of all ages busy, whatever the British weather has in store.

Live festival entertainment every day

Especially for the summer holidays, Stockeld Park has created a packed programme of live entertainment for the whole family. There’ll be something happening throughout the day, every day, including magicians, tribute acts, silent discos, giant bubble fun and more. Head to the festival field and enjoy the show. Hungry? There’ll be delicious barbecue specials served on the festival field throughout the summer event.

Outdoor adventures and indoor play

Beyond the live entertainment, there are loads of outdoor activities, adventure playgrounds and places to explore across Stockeld Park’s 40-acre site. Make time to visit Woodsands Cove, where children can discover the brand new sand and water play installation. It’s the perfect place for digging, splashing and getting hands-on. There’s plenty of indoor fun too, including the Playhive, Stockeld Park’s enormous indoor adventure playground. Don’t miss it – it’s incredible.

Fun whatever the weather

Whether the summer brings sunshine or showers, Stockeld Park is ready! On hot days, families can cool off at the new misting station, join in with a water fight or head inside the air-conditioned Playhive. Rain doesn’t have to spoil the day either. If the inflatables have to close for a period of time because of the weather, Stockeld Park’s Inflatables Guarantee means you can return for free, subject to the terms and conditions.
