Summer of Play at Gibside

Welcome to a summer of possibilities. Create, explore, move, wonder and make-believe at Gibside, all summer long.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Bring the whole family to Green Close Field for a day of adventure at the Play Labyrinth. Wander around a maze of grassy paths to find different play zones, including summer sports, Georgian garden games, and musical activities.

Little legs won’t need to travel far to encounter a world of sensory play around the Walled Garden. Even grown-ups can put on a show in the puppet theatre.

Keep an eye on our events page for additional summer events for families, including family competitions and active games for children with special educational needs.
