Planning your family visit

- Toilets and baby-changing facilities are located in the Midden Yard. Additional composting toilets are located in Wolf’s Den, our natural play area.
- Pushchairs are only permitted throughout the house's lower ground floor, which is fully accessible with level stone floors. Pushchairs can also be left at the house's entrance.
Summer of Play
On your marks, get set and join us at Erddig this summer to make memories playing, exploring, and getting active together.
From July 20 until 1 September, have a go at the sport-inspired self-led activities the whole family can enjoy throughout the garden, from hurdles to sprinting.
See if you can hula hoop - start with the smallest hoop and work your way up to find out which is the biggest one you can twirl. Have a go at sprinting, hurdling and mini croquet. Then take on your friends and family in a game of tag rugby. Put on the tag rugby belts and try to remove the tags from the back of each other's belts - who will be the last one standing?
On 24 July and 7 August, storyteller Jake Evans will be visiting to ignite young imaginations with his captivating tales at intervals between 12pm and 3pm.
Every Monday from 22 July, from 11am-3pm, there will be the chance to try out lino printing in the education room - the lino stamp patterns are inspired by the symbols and shapes you see on the State Bed in the house.
On Fridays from 26 July Fine Art Fridays return, between 11am and 3pm. Painters of all ages and abilities can take inspiration from the garden to create a work of art to take home.
Summer of Play is sponsored by Starling Bank.
