Our Family Events
A fun-filled day for you and your family
Plan a fun-filled day for you and your family in the great outdoors, come rain or shine. Enjoy the perfect balance of fresh air and big open spaces to roam around in, then refuel at the Garden Café or Ginkgo Coffee Shop, enjoy a picnic in the Garden or by the lakes or treat yourself to a delicious ice cream from the Gift Shop.
Wild Camp Birthday Parties
Book a birthday party with a difference and bring your little ones along for the ultimate nature party in the Woodland. Here, they’ll learn how to build a shelter, light a fire and cook sausages and marshmallows on a stick to be enjoyed with all of their pals. Pure outdoor adventure they’ll want to return to time and again.
Adventure Playground
Bring your young explorers here to let off steam in a natural wood Adventure Playground, designed for full on fun. Children can navigate their way through a series of exciting equipment including swings, stepping logs, climbing frames, a slide, spring rider and a zip wire for the most adventurous. The play equipment has been created from long lasting Robinia wood to blend with the beautiful natural surroundings.
Treehoppers Forest Kindergarten
Play, learn and get muddy
We’re lucky enough to have Treehoppers Forest Kindergarten at Borde Hill, offering childcare in the great outdoors. The site provides lots of space for children to play and explore including an enormous sand pit to play in, an area to grow fruit and vegetables, a mud kitchen, a climbing frame and opportunities to get involved with campfire cooking. At Treehoppers children have fun playing and learning in nature, developing their skills and confidence in an inspiring environment.
The Treehoppers site is set within Cuckoo Corner, and home to numerous champion trees. It was also the site of Borde Hill’s original playground which was built in the 1990s, and we are delighted that Treehoppers is continuing the legacy of creating a safe, happy space for children to explore the beauty of nature, enabling them to thrive in the great outdoors.The Kindergarten is open Monday – Thursday for children aged 2 and over.
