Summer of Play at The Firs

Come on a musical journey with us at The Firs this summer.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Come and make some noise on our woodland drumkit, discover and experiment with musical compositions in the sound garden or even play for traditional games such as croquet and much more!

Don’t forget to stop by Elgar’s first home and have a go at playing the violin. Also, explore the quaint English Cottage Garden where pretty flowers are in bloom.  

Stop off at Little Al’s café for consistently great and fair-trade coffee, refreshing teas and a selection of brunch favourites.
