The Stablecroft Project: A New Chapter for Moseley Old Hall - Temporary closure of woodland and play areas
We're excited to begin a new initiative, enhancing the landscape for both nature and visitors. With new paths, native plantings, a wildflower mound, and a heritage orchard, the Stablecroft project will improve accessibility, boost biodiversity, and enrich the visitor experience. As part of our broader outdoor improvements, new play areas will be developed within the woodland bordering the meadow. While we are eager to bring these fantastic changes to life, we also recognise that some disruptions will be necessary. The project is expected to take 3-4 weeks to complete from mid February 2025. During this time, some areas of the property may be temporarily closed for safety reasons. Our admission prices will be lowered during this time to reflect the reduced areas you can access. We appreciate your patience and support as we work to enhance Moseley Old Hall for future generations.

Feeling adventurous?
There is plenty to do around our outdoor spaces to help you get to know nature.
With den building, the mud kitchen, our turf labyrinth and of course the tree hide there are lots of ways for you to enjoy the experiences offered by the great outdoors and go home feeling happy tired.
Top things to try from the ‘50 things to do before you’re 11¾’ list:
No. 1 Get to know a tree (hide)
Disappear from view in our secret tree hide, deep in the Kings Walk wood. Are you brave enough to climb to the top?
No. 9 Eat a picnic in the wild
You are welcome to picnic anywhere in our gardens; there are some lovely picnic tables in our farmyard, or why not find a spot in the meadow?
Our tearoom offers takeaway hot and cold drinks, snacks, cakes and bakes so don't worry if you forgot to pack a treat or two - we have you covered!
No. 13 Make a mud creation
In the woods there is a great mud pie making kitchen waiting for very creative cooks. There are no pots and pans but there is plenty of mud! Feel free to bring your own from home and cook up something extra tasty!
No. 18 Create some wild art
Let nature inspire you - why not make a frame using sticks then fill in your 'canvas' with natural materials you find on our woodland floor.
Don't forget to share your creations with us on our social media pages - we love to see what you have been up to!
No. 31 Make friends with a bug
There are lots of bugs to find around Moseley. Why not lead your very own bug hunting expedition? Listen to what you can hear buzzing in the meadow and see what creepy crawlies you can discover in the woods.
We sometimes offer Ranger-led bug hunts through our meadow too so keep an eye on our What's On page for details of these!
