Summer of Play at Lyme

There's over 600 years of history at Lyme, from the medieval deer herd to the extraordinary mansion. Inside, transport the kids back to Regency times where they can dress up in brilliant costumes and play with toys in the Edwardian nursery. Or venture into the parkland to spot deer from The Cage and run off some steam in Crow Wood play area. 

Play your way, every day through summer. Visit Lyme for a Summer of Play, with six weeks chock-full of games. From Make Believe to Adventure, every two weeks will celebrate different ways to play with brand new activities and experiences meaning there’s something new to try each time you visit. With 1,400 acres to explore, there's more than enough space to try it all.
