Feel Good February half term: Once Upon A Trail

We're using every trick in the book this February half term to get your creative juices flowing in our literary trail!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Choose your own adventure and build a new tale every time with our story dice game in the South East Garden. Fashion a folk tale, create a comedy or deliver a drama; the choice is yours.

Head to the Arboretum near the Church of Our Lady and, set amidst the winter gardens, visit the poetry board to create your own nature-themed poem. Have a go at shadow puppet making in the Beer Cellar in the Basement and produce your own mini show!

Grab a script and a costume from the dressing up station and take to the stage to perform on the Baroque theatre style travelling theatre stage in the Kitchen in the West Wing.
