Summer of Play at Dudmaston
We have exciting play activities planned throughout the summer months. Pop to Visitor Reception to borrow toys and family games to play in the Orchard. Try some traditional garden games, or challenge your friends and family to a competition.
Let Pixie the cat guide you around Dudmaston on our new Closer to Nature with Pixie adventure trail. Get closer to nature by using all your senses to notice, find and feel. The Closer to Nature with Pixie trail takes you through the Dingle, garden and galleries to help you explore with all your senses. Complete the trail for a small prize.

Dudmaston Hall
Playground
Head for the swings, slide and climbing frame at Dudmaston Hall. The playground is close to Visitor Reception and the Tea-room.
Dingle and Big Pool walks
Set off on your own woodland adventure amongst the tall trees in the Dingle. Play pooh sticks in the stream or look out for wildlife on the water. There are some steep climbs and areas of uneven terrain in this part of the estate, which mean that these walks aren't buggy friendly.
