Calling all leaf crunchers: Autumn half-term fun
Celebrate the colourful autumn season at Kingston Lacy this half-term with creativity fun through the gardens and woodland.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Collect your creativity activity booklet from Visitor Reception and complete the activities as you explore gardens and woodland filled with fabulous autumn colour.
There are also lots of pop-up activities around the gardens to discover. Have a go at making music for trees, and listen to the music they've created, with our selection of recycled musical instruments, or collect fallen leaves to help us complete the outdoor artworks.
Snuggle up in the cosy bell tent in the Kitchen Garden, filled with seasonal books, or visit the Autumn Hideaway on the edge of the Formal Garden for an exciting audio installation (19 - 27 October) or autumn crafts (29 October - 3 November)
