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.
