Stonor Park and Gardens has been welcoming families since July 20 for an “action-packed journey of discovery” that includes its playground, Tumblestone Hollow.
Stonor Park’s Wild Summer, which is running until September 1, aims to stoke children’s imagination and take them into a “world of make-believe”.
Lord Camoys, custodian of Stonor Park, said: “With schools out for the summer holidays, Stonor presents the perfect opportunity for mums, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents and friends to immerse themselves in nature.
“We have a wonderful space to get active and explore the great outdoors.
“If you’re a thrill-seeker, wildlife-lover, or simply want to spend precious time with loved ones, Stonor Park is a must-visit destination.”
The Tumblestone Tales, written by Amy Sparkes for the park, will come to life with three storytelling sessions each day.
The tales comprise ‘The Legend of Tumblestone Hollow’ and ‘The Moon Witch And The Thief’.
Children can also walk through the nature walk to discover more about the woodland and its inhabitants.
A special ‘musical tree’ awaits those who follow the whispers of the Song Stone along the way.
Located off the nature walk path, the tree is covered in wind chimes and those who find it can make a wish and tie a ribbon to a branch.
Treehouses and towers connected by rope bridges and tunnels are on offer at Tumblestone Hollow as well as zip line, swings, slides and look out decks.
Visitors will also have the chance to try building dens following instructions provided at the visitor centre.
The water play section of the playground is an interactive space for children to cool off on warmer days and experiment with waterways in the sand.
Families can enjoy walks through Stonor’s formal gardens or along a section of Shakespeare’s Way, offering views of Stonor Park and the house below from the top of the valley.
On Saturdays and Sundays, from 1.30pm to 5pm, the 12th-century house and 13th-century Chapel of the Holy Trinity will be open to the public.
Food options include handmade pizzas, burgers made from local organic longhorn beef and Italian gelatos from The Rumble Hut.
The park is open from 9.30am to 5.30pm five days a week, and stays open until 7.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
Prices for adults start from £9.50 while children over 105cm start from £10.50, and those between 92cm and 105cm from £8.50. Those under 92cm can enter free of charge.
