National Play Day
Playday celebrates the importance of play in children's lives. This year, join us for free games and activities on the four acre in the parkland.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
Join in the free games and activities on the four acre in the parkland. Little ones can test their balance and skills on our balance bike obstacle course, and older children can have a go at archery.
Finding the four acre field: Follow the arrows from the visitor centre. With the visitor centre on your right, head left towards the rear of the car park and follow the fence round to the road. Turn right at the tree in the middle of the road and head through the white gates into the parkland. Take the left fork in front of you and then take the track on your left. The four acre is located through the next set of gates on the right hand side.
