A Summer of play at Quarry Bank

This summer journey through play at Quarry Bank, no matter the weather.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Saturday 20 July - Monday 2 September

Enjoy hours of fun on the Mill Meadow as little ones navigate through a maze, challenge themselves with the obstacle course and build all kinds of creations at the loose parts play station.

With a changing programme of themes, families will be invited to wear fancy dress, get on their marks for sports day, or go exploring on the teddy bear trail.

Venture into the Mill to get creative with craft and dressing up activities. And don't miss spending some time at the tinker stations in the Brain Power Gallery.

Come rain or shine join us for a summer filled with play and fun for all the family.
