Calling all little adventurers and magical beings!
Step into our living storybook for a magical outdoor adventure. Enjoy the Gardens like never before, where the Manor House Front Lawn and Fairy Forest will transform into a whimsical world of enchanted family fun.
Little explorers can enjoy a treasure hunt where our resident fairies have just been treated to new houses, front doors and other treehouse renovations. We have a special trail ready to help you find them all. Every hour we will have storytelling, guided craft workshops, face painting, and walk-around characters to provide crowd entertainment. Fancy dress is encouraged and there will be a prize for the best dressed – open to adults and children!
An ice cream van will be on the Front Lawn and we will have a food vendor on site. However, you are welcome to bring your own picnic and blanket to enjoy this outdoor garden event.
