Sheffield Park & Garden’s picturesque lakes burst with colour during the summer. From jewel-like waterlilies to swathes of wildflowers or explosions of rhododendrons. Lakes & Lilies is a celebration of this with activities for all-ages.
Majestic Waterlilies The waterlilies take centre stage from 14 June. Experience a 360° view of the blooms from the floating pontoon and look out for waterlilies in different shades and colours, from buttery yellow to deep pink. Why not enjoy the gardens with Summer Evening openings.
Stand up paddleboarding (SUP) Get a ducks-eye-view of Sheffield Park this summer as we welcome SUP on the far lake for the first time. SUP is a peaceful yet active way for all the family to enjoy the water whilst following in the footsteps of the Third Earl of Sheffield who loved nothing better than using the lakes for sport – he even held diving displays for the public to enjoy.
Waterlily Inspired Workshops Try your hand at an art workshop this summer. The series includes photography and linocut workshops with all artistic abilities welcomed. The workshop series is aimed at adults.
Exotic Spots Family Trail Sat 19 July - Sun 7 September. Nine colourful animals are hanging out in Sheffield Park with their favourite exotic trees and plants, Can you spot them all? Trail is free, normal garden admission applies.
Kwik Cricket & Summer of Play Balmy summer days are made for exploration, laughter and family adventures. Step away from the main lakes into our Play Glade (Stream Glade) where you will find large garden games and activities. Or head up to the Cricket Pitch for free Kwik Cricket sessions every Wednesday during the holidays.
