Summer of Play at Allan Bank

Fun for all the family this summer

Follow the path through the woodland and play traditional games on the lawns. Choose from croquet, quoits, skittles and sports day games. Let your imagination run wild with the loose parts play or try the woodland noughts and crosses in the garden. Make prints inspired by the exhibitions inside or pop into the cute retro caravan. Get active or creative, how will you play today?
