What’s on
Wellies and WONDER this February half term
Join us this half term for fun and frolics come rain or shine!
We have a whole host of exciting free activities for the whole family to enjoy this half term at Holkham Park. Come and explore our wonderful parkland, enjoy our craft activities and why not have a bite to eat in the Courtyard Café?
Here’s what you might like to get up to:
Welly hunt
It’s blown a hoolie and there are wellies scattered all over the park! Can you follow the clues and find them all? Take a picture next to the final Golden Welly and be in with a chance to win a visit to our family Easter event!
Create your own bird feeder to take home! 11am-3pm
Birds need us more than ever as the weather gets colder. Stop by our crafting station in the Stables Courtyard to make a bird feeder to take home with you, to entice a range of birds to your garden.
Winter spotter sheet
Holkham is so beautiful this time of year (even if it’s cold and windy!) and there is so much to see by way of nature. We’ve put together a list of all the natural wonders of the season for you to spot around the park and become a wildlife expert!
Woodland play area
Enjoy a run (or swing, or slide) around in our play area, which is open daily throughout half term for little legs to blow off some steam, weather permitting.
