The Vyne, National Trust – Summer of Play for Heritage Open Days 2026

The Vyne, National Trust – Summer of Play

Once an important Tudor palace, this atmospheric mansion has some illustrious connections, from Henry VIII to Jane Austen. Outside, acres of wildlife-rich gardens, meadows and woods create a wonderful space for relaxation and exploration, while the natural play space gives children freedom to let their imaginations take them on fantasy adventures. Sweeping lawns offer lakeside picnicking and a short stroll reveals a cosy bird hide overlooking the water meadows.

With music stations, giant Jenga, sack races and more, families can enjoy a Summer of Play at The Vyne, National Trust as part of Heritage Open Days.
