There’s lots of fun to be had this summer at Dunham Massey. What to look out for: North Park Play Hub - the main hub for Summer of Play. Giant deckchairs and tiny tipis take over the North Park. Clamber on the log pile, have a go at giant games or let imaginations run free with nature around you as the stage. How will you play today? Picnic and Play in the garden - Discover games on the lawn or find and conquer the mount! When you need a break, borrow a blanket or lounge on a deckchair as you enjoy a snack surrounded by seasonal blooms.
