Parents can take the opportunity for a well earned sit down here whilst the kids try out their balance and climbing skills on the obstacle.
Courtyard Games

Children can build, balance, stack and invent using an assortment of materials and objects. Aspiring actors, singers and storytellers will find their stage in the Performance Play Zone. With a variety of props and costumes on hand, children can step into character and put on their own shows. For those who prefer a calm, sensory-friendly environment, the book nook provides a soothing retreat. With gentle activities and relaxed seating, this zone is perfect for quiet reflection, mindful play or simply taking a break from the excitement of the day.
Frontlawn Games
Is it even summer if you haven't had a game of badminton in front of the Mansion House? You'll also find old school favourites like the egg and spoon race and mansion marbles!
