Heritage and Habitat: Explore, Create, and Play!

Step into the past and get hands-on with exciting activities in our historic green spaces this summer! Join us at Aston Hall, Blakesley Hall, and Sarehole Mill for weekly sessions throughout May half term and the Birmingham Summer Holidays. Each week brings new, fun-filled outdoor activities, all with a focus on sustainability and the natural world, set within the beautiful gardens of our historic sites.

From crafting your very own origami plant pots to sending teddy bears on zip wire adventures, there’s something for children of all ages to enjoy. Activities change each week, ensuring there's always something fresh to discover. Guided by our friendly team, these sessions are a fantastic way to connect with nature, learn about outdoor sustainability, and make unforgettable memories. Don't miss out on these unique experiences this summer!
