Summer Tuesdays: Kids Go Free

Come and explore, create and discover with a whole mix of playful, plant‑themed activities throughout the house. Free house entry for children on Tuesdays (1 free child per each paid for adult ticket).

• See giant paper‑flower sculptures by artist Andy Singleton and help the display grow all summer by adding your own crafted bloom to the installation
• Follow the plant‑spotting trail: search for colourful clues hidden in different rooms, learn quirky plant facts and tick off discoveries as you go
• Get hands‑on with plant‑themed crafts: Take part in self‑led activities including making paper flowers, leafy crowns and fun boppers to wear around the house and gardens
• Explore real plants up close: Look at seeds, leaves and textures under magnifiers and discover how plants were used in the past, from healing to household essentials
• Find mini ‘wow moments’ around the house: Spot giant leaves, flowers and roots, get interactive with unusual plant specimens and test your senses with smell‑and‑guess jars
• Still life: Create a beautiful 3D Still Life inspired by our stunning art works
• Take selfies at the flower arches: Perfect for bright, summery family photos.
• Design and build your own LEGO garden: Let imaginations bloom with bricks, colours and creative garden builds
