Storm the Castle - October half-term

With a host of children’s activities to choose from, this is a fun day out for all the family!

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Dive back 380 years in history to the time of the English Civil War, when roundhead soldiers lived at Nunnington Hall. Train up to become a soldier with family games such as archery and hobby-horse races, or become a spy for the royalist side by cracking the secret message in a codebreaker trail.

Inside the house, children can enjoy playing with the shadow puppet theatre and the civil war themed crafts available.
