Great British Summer at Beeston Castle

Celebrate a classic Great British Summer at Beeston Castle, inspired by timeless holiday traditions and a fun day out for the whole family. Pick up new tricks at the circus skills station and dive in to some puppet antics. Knock down the tin can alley at the fairground games, then kick back in a deck chair with a delicious ice cream.

Kids can grab a Great British Summer activity passport and collect special stamps to complete their summer adventure.

Plus, on Fridays – Sundays until 31 August, join our performer Pip on a thrilling one-person Summer adventure where one explorer, one backpack and a world of imagination bring history to life!

After the adventure, join Pip for a lively family puppetry workshop inspired by the stories you've just discovered. Learn the simple secrets of bringing a puppet to life through movement, imagination and teamwork — then create your own characters ready for their next Great British adventure!
