Dunham Massey provides the perfect backdrop for family adventures this summer.

Visitors to the National Trust property can join in with exciting family activities on weekdays throughout the summer holidays.

“Our younger visitors can enjoy a whole host of exciting experiences this summer,” says Katie Clayton, Assistant Visitor Experience Manager at Dunham Massey.

“They can become a ranger in the making, enjoy theatre fun and join in with baking, storytelling, family yoga and more.

“Each of the six summer holiday weeks are themed and activities change during the week.

“Visitors can choose from Ranger Week, Adventure Week, Show Week and more or even enjoy all six.”
