Summer of Play at Lytes Cary Manor

Make Lytes Cary Manor your destination for a playful summer - there's so much to do one day won't be enough. Pick up a family fun backpack stuffed full of activities, ride a hobby horse or challenge your friends to a game of croquet. There are puzzles to solve, colouring to be done and a giant spider to discover in the woodland. Tick off at least 10 of the 50 things to do before you are 11 3/4, have a game of croquet, and don't forget an ice cream.
