Calling Pokémon fans new and old! This Summer of Play, Pokémon are jumping into the great outdoors near you. Are you ready to share the magic with a new generation? From Saturday 18 July - Sunday 6 September, on top of an already jam-packed Summer of Play, discover all-new Pokémon zones. Get stuck into the Pokémon Trading Card Game, flex your skills and collect Mega Evolution stickers! Discover Pokémon zones in participating locations. Don’t forget your imagination... Alongside the Pokémon zone, the Garden of Imagination returns as our Summer of Play hub in the gardens. Fun for all the family, including dogs on short leads, you can stay and play all day with places to find shelter and shade whatever the weather. Come back and enjoy the fun all summer long with Calke Crafternoons every Tuesday and Thursday (pre-booking required) or pop along to enjoy a drop-in storytelling session in the shade. Expect the return of some of your favourite activities like Little Calke Village, suitable for imaginative little ones as well as dressing up and musical instruments. For slightly older explorers, head to the Fun and Games zone for football, disc golf and soft archery, or challenge the whole family to a sports day race. After all that playing, you can find the Zen Zone hidden away to chill out with a book or a spot of cloud gazing. Raining outside? Take your Summer of Play indoors with activities inside the house, from jigsaws to dressing up.

Explore the spaces used in the production – from Tommy Shelby’s dramatic walk through the Stableyards to the atmospheric rooms inside the House transformed for the screen. Discover how outdoor spaces and historic interiors were dressed to create mood and meaning, how the cast and crew worked within this fragile setting, and how the production team worked carefully with the team at Calke to protect its historic fabrics and collections while bringing scenes to life.
