Summer fun at Wentworth

School's nearly out for summer and we've got plenty of family fun planned to make it a holiday to remember! Join us from 21 July - 1 September for the activities below, no pre-booking required.

 

Dinosaur Discovery Trail in the Historic Gardens

Journey back in time with us this summer as our Historic Gardens turn prehistoric with the addition of some life-sized dinosaur visitors! 

Will you be brave enough to walk amongst them to complete our Dinosaur Discovery Trail?! 

Your adventure could bring you face-to-face with a vicious Velociraptor, a ferocious Deinonychus or even the most feared of them all...the terrifying T. rex. 

If this all sounds a little scary, do not fear! Our expert dinosaur ranger will be on hand to help keep things under control, and you on the right track!

Regular Historic Garden admission prices apply: Adults £2.95, Children/Concessions £2.45 (under 1s free). We also offer free entry for RHS members and are currently taking part in the Gardener's World 2-for-1 gardens entry scheme (RHS member/Gardener's World 2-for-1 card must be shown on entry).

Opening times:  10 am - 5 pm (last admission at 4 pm)
