Join us at Wightwick Manor and Gardens every Tuesday and Wednesday in August for family fun and creativity in the great outdoors.
Get creative making nature themed and traditional crafts - try a different craft activity each week, 11am - 3pm each day:
5 & 6 August - Craft a clay lavender decoration to hang at home.
12 & 13 August - Feel like a royal and make a posh paper plate crown.
19 & 20 August - Design a peg doll; will you make a superhero, a mermaid or one that looks like you?
26 & 27 August - Use your theatrical side and make a paper push up puppet scene.
Play your way; have a go at playing tennis on the original Tennis Lawn next to the Manor, have a lazy afternoon playing in our new sandpit on the Thimbles Lawn everyday of the summer holidays, or on Tuesdays and Wednesdays in August (11am - 3pm), discover our other traditional games - who is the best hopper in the sack race and who can balance their egg on the spoon for the longest distance?
In the Manor, see if you can find all of the Strawberry Thief birds hidden in the rooms and have a go at dressing up in Victorian clothing too.
Try it all, find your favourite, come back again and again. Summer of Play, sponsored by Starling Bank.
