We're officially in summer holiday mode - and to celebrate, we've filled the garden at Stoneywell with lots of ways play (and lots of woolly wildlife too!) ☀️

Between Friday-Monday, from now until 6 September, you could...

🐌 Search for woolly creatures hiding around the garden.
🏆 Challenge your family to a game of hook-a-duck, co****le or pick-up sticks.
⛺ Curl up with a book in a tent, or stretch out on a picnic blanket and watch the leaves dance above your head.
🏠 Find our playhouse, and turn it into a cosy home, a secret base, a hidey hole, a teashop - anything you like!
🌳 Create your own tree hanger to take home, or add it to the trees in the orchard.
..and much more! Activities are all free of charge - normal admission applies, and you must pre-book your visit to Stoneywell via our website.
