Summer of Play at Belton

Belton House Belton House, High Road, Belton, Grantham

Summer of Play is returning to Belton, bigger and better than ever before! Summer of play is sponsored by Starling Bank. Discover Belton’s Avenue of Adventure this summer on the East Lawn and set off on a journey to explore some of the countries the Brownlow’s visited. Enjoy playful and interactive activities, from designing your own Chinese Wallpaper and competing in a hobby-horse race, to dressing up and strutting your stuff on a catwalk. Offering a calm space, head inside our under-the-sea inspired sensory tent in the garden to enjoy some sensory play. We’re bringing the seaside to the Estate Yard, with ‘Belton-on-Sea’, next to the ice-cream parlour! After building sandcastles, head to the work zone to build miniature versions of the mansion with ‘Building Belton’. That's not all - Inspire+ will be returning on Fridays throughout the school holidays to run sport sessions on the oval. There will also be a programme of crafts, yoga, Belton Boogie, and pop-up sessions held by our knowledgeable garden, ranger, and house teams. We’ll be releasing a calendar in July to help you see what’s running when! Keep an eye on our social media for more details to be released throughout the run-up.

Jazz in the Gardens

Burghley House Burghley, Stamford

Enjoy a toe-tapping afternoon of jazz in Burghley's beautiful gardens. Spend a summer's afternoon in Burghley's Sculpture Garden listening to the swinging sounds of local Dixieland jazz group, the Stamford Stompers. Bring the whole family along, roll out a blanket and soak up the sublime atmosphere. With a soundtrack that will have everyone bopping along - even the littlest of dancers won't be able to resist joining in! Listen to the Stompers as they perform a wonderfully wide repertoire of classic New Orleans jazz with instruments that include a banjo, string bass, clarinet, trumpet, and guitar. During your visit take in the beauty of the Gardens in full summer bloom or let the little ones run wild in Hide & Secrets Adventure Play. The Gardens and Adventure Play are open from 10am to 5pm with the Stamford Stompers performing from 12 noon to 4pm.
