Summer of Play at Osterley

Are you ready for a Summer of Play? We've got plenty of ways for the whole family to get active, explore and have fun at Osterley this summer.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Come down to Osterley this summer and discover many ways to play!

Get active on the Front Lawn with football, table tennis or cycle hire (Weds-Sun). Or head into the Gardens to get active with throwing and catching and obstacles, or hone your skills with target practice. If you’re feeling creative you can make some music, or some wild art. All activities are self-led so you can play your way.

Follow our prompts or create your own ways to play. Gardens open 10am-5pm (last entry 4pm). Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
