Summer of Play at Washington Old Hall 2026
Advertisement
Fun fact: this year marks the 250th anniversary of US Independence as well as the 20th anniversary of the Sunderland and DC friendship agreement! So in honour of Washington's connection with America some of our Summer of Play activities have more of a US theme.
Self-led activities will be available in the gardens every day (Thursday - Monday). Get competitive with all the family with some classic lawn games such as sack racing, skittles (the ancestor of bowling) or try out the American game of cornhole. There will be lots of ways to play, maybe even try building a den!
Keep a look out on our event page for a range of organised pop-up fun coming to Washington Old Hall this summer (dates TBC). Here's what you could expect:
• Nature crafts
• Mini flag-making - design your own flag for your imaginary country
• Facilitated sports and active games
