Date

Location

The Ickworth

Long summer days are made for adventure at Ickworth Estate, where the beautiful Walled Garden transforms into a playful outdoor world for families to explore together.

This year’s Summer of Play invites children to climb, create, imagine and discover their way through a garden filled with hands-on activities and nature-inspired fun. Little ones can weave through wild mazes, cook up muddy masterpieces in the mud kitchens, enjoy storytelling sessions, perform on the Summer House stage and explore the sensory garden at their own pace.

Designed for curious minds and playful spirits of all ages, it’s a wonderfully relaxed way to spend time outdoors together throughout the summer holidays. No booking is needed, although normal admission applies.
