Stumpery Stories for parents and babies

Enchanting storytelling sessions to celebrate World Book Day!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

This March, help us celebrate World Book Day by joining one of our storytelling sessions in the atmospheric Stumpery.

These laid-back sessions will take you on a gentle wander through the Italianate Garden to the Stumpery. The original stories are created and delivered by our Visitor Experience Team and have been been designed specially for parents and babies.

This is a great opportunity to try something a little different this spring and see the Ickworth gardens in a new light.

Storytelling sessions are taking place on the 6 and 7 March from 10.30am - 11.30am. They are free to join and there is no need to book! Please note that normal admission applies for entrance to Ickworth Estate.
