Event details
30 May - 1 June
Entry is included with all 'house and garden' and 'garden' tickets.
Our family festival in the garden returns for a second year offering a host of entertainment and activities designed to entertain every family member.
Master gravity-defying circus skills or watch a big top circus show; run for gold in mini Olympic races for all ages; join a musical safari; be transported to far off lands by story time; make and shake your emotions with author Hannah Ormandy, or take part in workshops by authors/illustrators Lydia Monks and Bethan Woollvin.
Suitable for anyone aged 1 to 101, because who says the wonder of being a child should have an age limit?
All activities are free with spaces allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
The festival will follow a week of half-term activities across Chatsworth.
