Summer fun at Nymans and Standen House & Garden Come out and play this summer at Nymans. There's plenty to keep little ones entertained, from active play challenges in Comber’s Field, to having fun in the Play Glade, Nymans’ natural play space. And during the summer holidays, a 'Pavilion of Play' large-scale play installation means that playtime is just about to get bigger, better and wilder than ever, as you'll find out what it really means to get closer to nature - in a world of lofty lookouts, giant ear trumpets, peculiar periscopes, and a whole lot more. Join in with an outdoor adventure at Nymans with ‘The Pirate, The Seed and The All-Seeing Tree’, where you're invited on a voyage of discovery around the garden. Listen out for tales of the ancient Cedar tree. Why is the Plant Pirate here and what is he up to? Can a lost seed grow in a strange land? Colourful characters are on a quest to find answers and they need your help. Performances are throughout the day from Friday 29 July until Sunday 31 July and Friday 5 August - Sunday 7 August. £8 per person, plus normal admission. Catch an open air performance of ‘The Railway Children’ too on Monday 29 August with doors opening at 5pm, giving time to enjoy a picnic on the lawn in front of the ruins before the performance begins at 6pm. Adult £15, child £12. Over at Standen House and Garden a summer of fun awaits with a retro 70s twist. Have a go on the space hoppers, check out funky fashions for creatures on the summer trail; £3, get stuck into some creative crafts in the woodland den, and play giant outdoor garden games.

Have some Reindeer Fun this December!

This December, why don’t you grab your antlers and support your local children’s hospice by having some Reindeer Fun? Whether you want to Run, Cycle, Row, Ramble, or come up with your own fundraising challenge, Chestnut Tree House will provide everything you need for your Reindeer Fun event, including free reindeer antlers and red noses for everyone taking part, online materials, helpful hints and tips, and sponsorship forms. We can also give an audience-appropriate assembly or talk about the hospice either in person, or via an online platform such as Zoom. By taking part in Reindeer Fun, you are helping care for around 300 local children who are not expected to live until adulthood. They’ll visit the House and create precious memories with their families. They’ll receive vital support from the Community Team in the comfort of their own homes. And, when the time comes, Chestnut Tree House will help families say goodbye, in whatever way feels right for them. Thank you, your generosity will make a real difference to local children and their families when they need it most. Are you ready to spread some festive cheer? What Reindeer activity will you take on this year? To sign up, visit www.chestnut.org.uk/reindeer-fun
