Step into a world of play, imagination, and adventure this summer.

Get creative with illustration or kite-making, or take a deep dive into filmmaking and drama at one of our hands-on workshops. Let magical worlds come to life through music, books and storytelling. Get movin’ and groovin’ with salsa and ceilidh dancing for the whole family, or get in touch with your flow with Tai Chi on our Lakeside Terrace. Run away with the circus – just for a day – with aerial and ground workshops or embrace play in one of our play zones where imaginations run wild.
