August at Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens is set to be a very busy month with lots on offer for our visitors! For those of you all set to spend another summer in glorious England, we have plenty of events (and pies) to sink your teeth into.

Family Theatre

Open-air theatre is the name of the game, as usual all our events are planned with your safety as our number one priority which is why our outdoor plays are an absolutely perfect way to enjoy yourself whilst feeling completely safe.

David Walliams’s heart-warming Mr Stink arrives on Thursday 12th August, followed by the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland on Sunday 22nd August. Adult tickets cost £12 and Children £11, under 2’s free. There’s really no better setting for it than our beautiful gardens and you can bring your own picnic to enjoy, we also have refreshments available to purchase onsite too.

Fancy something more interactive? Well lucky for you we have Hook and Pans Adventures coming for 4 days too! Follow us deep into the magical Gardens, joining Captain Hook and Peter Pan as they race to see who will be the first to find lost treasure, Friday 27th-Monday 30th August. Tickets cost £12, £10 for members or you can purchase a group ticket that admits 4 for £40.

Unplug & Play

Our Unplug and Play events have returned this summer featuring Wild Wednesday’s and Crafty Thursday’s, there’s a whole load of fun packed into each event and families will utterly love it. Our Wild Wednesday events will allow you to explore nature and care for wildlife with storytelling, tree hugging and so much more outdoor adventure! Crafty Thursdays are arts and crafts oriented with a focus on nature: think birds, plants, paint… A bit of imagination and creativity is all you need to get involved! 1 ticket is for a table/group that seats up to 5 people (max 2 adults) so that’s just £10 for one family. Or £8 for members.

We also have three special all-day workshops, Friday Family Adventures with Artists. Artists Sophie Handy, Claire Whitcomb and Tom Ellis will be joining us with a variety of activities from shadow puppetry to tree decorations to bunting-making! One ticket is for a table/group that seats up to 5 people (max 2 adults). Tickets cost £25 for one family. The event is from 11am-3pm and each ticket includes a soft drink and snack for each child. Please feel free to bring a packed lunch or purchase refreshments from our café.
