Visit Lotherton

Outdoor play area

We’re delighted to be starting work on a brand‑new outdoor adventure playground, designed to offer more space for exploration, greater challenge and plenty of opportunities for children of all ages, interests and abilities to play.

To make sure construction can take place safely, a large section of our existing outdoor play is currently closed. While work is underway, the timber play area will not be available for use, but the fenced play area for younger children remains open.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Help us measure our impact

We're working with the Department of Culture, Media and Sport to understand the value that our venues provide socially and economically. Your contribution will also help shape new guidelines for valuing culture and heritage. 

The survey will take no more than 10 minutes to complete, we really appreciate your time
