Set to bring a sense of awe, wonder and adventure for visitors this autumn, The Children’s Country House brings extraordinary experiences for all ages across half-term.
For an immersive journey unlike no other, enter Myriad by Architects of Air: a monumental walk in inflatable 'Luminarium' structure. Inspired by forms found in nature, geometry and architecture, this enchanting sensory world will bring maze-like spaces filled with winding paths, radiant light and soaring domes.
Fully accessible, enter a mesmerising labyrinth of light and colour which invites rest, curiosity and reflection. To book tickets, head to the property website events page.
Also new for this season, experience a captivating story of nature’s greatest transformation within The Very Hungry Caterpillar™ trail. Enhanced by illustrated trail markers, giant food posts, activities and games, children learn about the days of the week, counting, and the life cycle of a butterfly.
And on selected dates across October, discover The Children’s Country House’s surrounding parkland on a guided walk. Hosted by the property Head Gardener, learn about the historic Deercote building and discover how nature is nurtured through inspiring conservation projects. Limited spaces are available, to book visit: Hosted Deercote Parkland Walk | National Trust
