Summer of Play
This summer we’re creating a hub of play in Crab Apple Orchard, inspired by the fantastical world of Grizwald and Griffins, so there’s bound to be something fun available for the whole family.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
The visitors will start their journey by entering through a Fantasy Castle Archway, before they step into a large castle made out of straw. Inside the castle they can find a variety of play items suitable for creative, active, and performance activities. Following on from this, they can find a maze with a podium and additional play equipment.
Booking is not required and the games are free.
