About This Event

The National Trust's Gibside estate becomes a free play paradise for the summer, with Georgian games, racket sports, music making, space hopper racing, sensory play in the Walled Garden, a puppet theatre and lawn games dotted across the grounds. Gibside is a wooded Georgian landscape garden in the Derwent Valley with miles of trails, a play area and plenty of room to roam. The Summer of Play activities are free with normal admission and run daily through the holidays.
