Summer of Play at Mount Stewart

This summer, play takes over the lawns at Mount Stewart. With the house as your backdrop and gardens all around, you’ll find five themed zones filled with imaginative, creative and energetic activities — all designed for children (and their grown-ups) to enjoy at their own pace.

Whether it’s stepping into costume and putting on a show, getting hands-on with art, planting your own mini garden, or simply relaxing with gentle sensory play, each zone offers a different way to connect, explore and have fun. With activities designed to suit all ages and energy levels, there’s plenty of choice for curious minds and calm moments alike.
New activities will pop up in different zones throughout the week, with brilliant sessions led by our Children and Young People’s Team and some fantastic local partners — so no two visits need be the same.

Everything’s set around the front lawns, with plenty of space to roam and room to relax. It’s the perfect spot to spend the whole day, with picnic areas, the café, shop, and the house itself all close by and easy to reach.
