Pokémon joins Hardwick's Summer of Play in Nottingham, featuring Elizabethan themed activities and events.
This summer there's a variety of Elizabethan themed activities to get stuck into. Don a costume and take to the stage in The Minstrels Court, make a tune on our music station, or challenge a friend in Champions Corner.
For the more competitive kids, watch them compete in races, hurdles, football, tennis and badminton. Or why not set up an archery competition and see if you can find the next Robin Hood.
There's lots for the little ones too in the Merry Meadow with soft play, Mud Kitchen, bug hotel, and chutes, perfect for young families or siblings wanting to play together.
On top of an already jam-packed Summer of Play, discover all-new Pokémon zones. Get stuck into the Pokémon Trading Card Game, flex your skills and collect Mega Evolution stickers!
Get stuck into extra activities on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays:
• Tuesdays: workshops which include Minibeast Safari, Tudor Dance, and Family Writing Workshops. Additional charges may occur for these.
• Wednesdays: free craft activities with a different theme each week in the Summer of Play zone.
• Thursdays: On selected dates, join the Discover With Us team for natural crafts like wet felting and herb sachet making. These activities are free.
Dogs are not allowed in the main Summer of Play play area, but there is dog friendly seating towards the entrance point.
For non-members of the National Trust, or visitors without a general admission ticket to the House and Gardens, the Wider Estate admission fees apply.
