Have a play in the giant sand pit, take part in some seaside arts & crafts and challenge your friends to a game of badminton or volleyball. There will be five creative and interactive seaside play zones around the gardens where you can get your creativity flowing and learn more about nature at the seaside. These zones with multiple activities will be available to enjoy every day in the gardens from 19 July to 31 August. There's plenty to keep you busy and coming back for more throughout the summer holidays.
In addition to the above activities, crazy golf will be back from 19 July to 10 August, and you can enjoy weekly art & craft workshops. There will also be a one-off live sand sculpture carving day on Wednesday 13 August. Come and watch Sand In Your Eye's master sculptors at work as they create a giant replica of the Anglesey Abbey house out of sand. The sculpture will stay in place for the rest of the summer holidays, weather permitting.
