View all →About This Event
The Summer of Play event is a recurring series that takes place on selected dates at Hinton Ampner in Alton, requiring admission.
Get ready for a swashbuckling Summer full of fun! With the beautiful backdrop of the South Downs our gardens are hosting Pirate Adventures. With different areas to discover there is fun for all the family.
Start off with a spot of training to get the crew into shape – climb aboard your ship, try the pirate name game and practice some essential pirate phrases. Sea-faring fun challenges include octopus ring toss, walk the plank and feed the crocodile!
This is a great day out for all the family and the perfect opportunity to get the kids out and about in Hampshire!
Mornings and weekends tend to be our busier days and times. If you would like a quieter visit try visiting after 2pm, when there is still plenty of time to see and do all the activities.
