Summer of Play at Wimpole Estate

Get back to nature and explore the great outdoors this summer at Wimpole Estate.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Hop, skip and jump as you make your way around the estate before challenging your family to a game of giant Jenga or croquet on the lawns. A great place to escape the mid-day sun, explore Wimpole Hall not with your eyes, but with your ears. Take note of what you can hear on your way as part of the new listening trail. When you're finished, pull up a pillow and enjoy a puppet show or, head to the stable block for story time outside the second hand-bookshop every Tuesday 10.30 - 11.30.

The summer of play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
