February half term at Powis Castle and Garden

Are you ready to try out some wild, fun-packed, and exciting things to do in the great outdoors? Explore both indoors and outdoors with Trail in a Bag and Story Time in the Library.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Adventure in the garden – we have our popular Trail in a Bag activities taking place around our world-famous garden. On top of this, if the weather isn't the best, we have a brand-new Indoor Trail in a Bag. Both Trail in a Bag activities are perfect for explorers of all ages, as this self-guided trail offers a unique way to engage with nature and uncover hidden wonders. With your trail bag in hand, embark on a journey through the historic gardens and complete the exciting challenges along the way.

While you're here, don't miss Story Time in the Library, which is running from 12 until 3pm from 15 February to 2 March. Enjoy a cosy storytelling session with our lovely volunteers, featuring building and wiring-themed tales.

Keep an eye out for spring wildlife along the way too – you may see some real rabbits hopping along the path through the snowdrops or Red Kites soaring above in the bright blue sky.

After all that adventuring, rest those tired legs and take a seat in the courtyard café.

Enjoy a delicious range of hot and cold food, bakes, cakes and homemade scones. There’s something for all appetites as we offer children’s menu too alongside gluten free options.
