Harvest Heroes runs 26th October – 3rd November 2024
Embark on an epic adventure through the walled garden! Seek out the eight hidden Harvest Heroes, mark them off on your spotter sheet and gather the secret letters. Once you’ve discovered them all, rearrange the letters to reveal the mystery harvest word.
Drop-in nature-related activities will be taking place on Tuesday 29 and Thursday 31 October in the American Garden.
Try out the wilderness play area where little (and big) explorers can test their climbing skills on two different clamber stacks. With slides for all ages, a climbing wall, and a rope bridge, there’s plenty of adventure to be had. Choose from a variety of swings, including a spacious cantilever bucket seat perfect for a group of friends. If you’re feeling creative, the den-building zone awaits for you to design your own woodland hideaway.
Call in the hall and explore The Botanical World of Mary Delany art exhibition, practice your paper folding techniques in the origami room or experience the space using the sensory bags available.
Don’t forget your coats and wellies—autumn fun often comes with a little mud and plenty of memories made. Free entry for National Trust and RHS members and under-fives. Open 10am – 5pm on 26 & 27 October, then 10am – 3.30pm from 28 October.
