Later, venture into the woods to “Find the Faces,” which are hidden on various trees throughout the woodland walk.
After a birds of prey flying display (weather permitting), little ones can run wild around the caterpillar maze, play in the gardens and outdoor play area, and enjoy the climbing frame, swings and slide. The tearooms and gift shop are also open.
Lucy Arthurs, estate manager at Leighton Hall, said: “This is our home and we love the fact that other families feel at home here too.”
