About This Event

The Summer of Play: Medieval Fair takes place at Croft Castle and Parkland in Hereford on 30 July 2026. It is themed around adventure, creativity and family activities and forms part of the venue’s summer programme.

Enjoy our Medieval Fair themed Summer of Play at Croft Castle, packed with adventure, creativity and family fun all summer long.

Expect a lively programme of performances, active play, and hands‑on creative activities, alongside games, activity stations and “have‑a‑go” sessions inspired by medieval festivities. Families can test their skills, dress the part and get stuck into playful challenges designed to spark imagination and curiosity.

There’s also a Wyvern Trail inside the castle, inviting explorers to follow clues, discover hidden corners, and uncover the story of this mythical creature as they journey through the historic rooms.

With plenty to see, do and take part in, Croft Castle is the perfect place for a summer of medieval magic, play and discovery.
