About This Event

This year, we’re bringing more excitement, colour, and adventure for families and kids to enjoy nature through play. Whether you're a budding dancer, an aspiring puppeteer, or a nature explorer, there’s something for everyone! Families can dive into Active Play in the Pleasure Ground, with plenty of fun activities like baseball and extra equipment added this year to welcome all ages. In the Stableyard, Creative Play comes alive with colourful arts and crafts sessions inspired by nature. In the Wider Garden, Loose Parts Play offers the chance to channel your inner builder and get creative with natural materials. At the Bandstand get dramatic with some Performance Play, put on a puppet show, become a storyteller and get your dancing shoes on!
