Changes to Play at Shugborough

From Sunday 30 June 2024, Explorers Wood Play Area will close, it has been a fun and well- loved part of visiting Shugborough since 2016, but it’s reaching the end of its natural life. With the help of local schools, Shugborough’s accessibility network, and play designers, we are currently in the process of designing an exciting new play area here at Shugborough Estate which is expected to open in 2026. 

In the meantime you will still be able to find place to play here at Shugborough, enjoying seasonally programmed activities across the estate, including family trails, craft activities and storytelling.
