Recommended ages 4-7+. Lively games and pioneering fun will encourage kids to ‘be bold, be brave’ and ‘dream big’ in The Vyne’s house and gardens where young readers can look out for vibrant illustrations from this best-selling biography series for kids by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara. On this literary family trail discover remarkable true stories about inspiring people. In the gardens, try your hand at kangaroo pouch bean bag toss with Steve Irwin and ‘jam’ with Taylor Swift in the Summerhouse. Keep an eagle eye out with David Attenborough using binoculars at the bird hide and throw your own mini-theatre production with Hans Christian Andersen. Join Jane Austen in the house before browsing the shop for copies of these much-loved books.
Little ones can explore the outdoors in the natural play area created especially for very young children just off the Lime Avenue.
If it rains, you can browse the gift shop, head into the Brewhouse tea-room for a hot chocolate, or venture into the house. Inside this ancient family home, you can wow the kids by showing them a secret Tudor peephole concealed in the panelling of The Study on the ground floor. There's also a very young, slim Henry VIII depicted in the chapel stained-glass windows. And at the end of the visitor route on the ground floor of the house there's a light and airy second hand bookshop with a cushioned bay window where you can leaf through your child's next favourite page-turner.
