Families are in for a magical surprise this summer with Belvoir Castle’s enchanting woodland adventure playground trail and an exclusive Pixie themed tea party. Charming characters and hidden secrets await to be discovered in the adventure playground as little explorers will need to search high and low to find magical creatures holding a letter to create a special word.
For extra fun, bonus challenges will be hidden along the way as children’s imaginations burst with excitement as they explore the lower decks and crawl spaces of Belvoir Castle Endeavour – a stunning wooden ship at the heart of the playground. Also featuring a multi-level castle modelled on Belvoir’s famous tower, children of all ages and abilities can explore a daring giant tube slide, secret climbing wall and hidden tunnels in the bespoke playground.
Rachel Cullis Dorsett, marketing consultant at Belvoir Castle said: “We want to provide families with even more to enjoy at no extra cost so they can have a truly memorable day out together at Belvoir Castle.”
The trail and access to Belvoir’s adventure playground is included in the admission price and will be available every day throughout the summer holidays.
On Saturday 24th August, the Duchess of Rutland herself will host an exclusive Pixie themed tea party in the castle. Finger sandwiches, jelly, ice cream and juice for the children, and tea and coffee for the grown-ups, as well as decorations in the party room and magical entertainment.
Visitors can also enjoy 10% off breakfast at Belvoir Bistro and 10% off playground entry every Monday to Thursday throughout the whole summer, when playground tickets are booked at the Bistro.
Sarah Headey, assistant manager of the Belvoir Bistro said: “There’s nothing like a good breakfast to set you up for the day, and we know how important it is to keep children fuelled for their next adventure.”
Located in the stunning Engine Yard, Belvoir Castle’s Retail Village, the Belvoir Bistro’s restaurant features locally sourced produce and seasonal favourites, with coffee and cake served all day and woodfired pizzas and takeaway grill also available every weekend, complimented by live music in the afternoon. A brand-new farm shop is also situated at the Engine Yard.
This retail village is also home to pop ups every weekend, featuring unique and independent businesses.
To add to a memorable day out, families can discover the historical legacy of one of the country’s finest Regency castles including an impressive collection of antique Chinese wallpapers dating back to the late 1700s.
