A family day out at Attingham Park

A woman and a young child are outdoors in a green park setting. The woman, wearing a brown coat and patterned scarf, smiles warmly at the child. The child, dressed in a green plaid shirt, wears a handmade bunny ear headband and looks through a pair of colourful binoculars. They appear to be engaging in a fun outdoor activity together. A wooden post, a tree trunk, and a metal fence are visible in the background.

Planning your family visit

  • Baby-changing facilities at Stables Courtyard and the Brewhouse.
  • Please follow signage and guidance when playing in the Field of Play.
  • Children under five on scooters, balance bikes or bikes with stabilisers are allowed under close supervision. 
  • Sometimes, depending on weather conditions, the Field of Play may get muddy so don't forget your wellies and warm clothes.

Natural play 

As you head around the park you'll find lots of natural play to keep little (and not so little) ones entertained. From fallen tree trunks to muddy paths and logs over the stream at the top of the Mile Walk there are various spots to be found. Children must be supervised at all times.

Sensory bags

We have three sensory bags and ear defenders available for loan during a visit and these can be signed out/in at Visitor Reception. The items in the bags were suggested by a group of young people from Autism West Midlands. 

We hope they can help visitors with autism, sensory processing disorder, or those who think they would benefit from them, during a visit to Attingham. 

Wildlife at Attingham

As you explore Attingham on your visit, you'll be able to spot some of our most popular animals at Attingham.

The fallow deer in the park, descended from the original herd brought to Attingham in the late 1700s.

In the woodland listen out for bird calls, and we'd be very surprised if you don't bump into a friendly robin or two around the park! 

Attingham Park is home to a wide range of wildlife, don't miss the Deer Park, the Walled Garden and beautiful woodland walks.
