For a family day out to remember, young adventurers can take to the high seas at Belvoir’s adventure playground, designed in the shape of the HMS Resolution. Staring out to sea through the portholes, or shivering their timbers on the poop deck, the ship is modelled on the adventures of an ancestor of the Duke of Rutland.

Also featuring a multi-level castle modelled on Belvoir’s famous tower, children of all ages and abilities can explore a daring giant tube slide, secret climbing wall and hidden tunnels in the bespoke playground.

The retail destination offers artisan shopping in the heart of the stunning Vale of Belvoir and celebrates local food and the best of country living. Restored from working estate buildings, it is home to the latest fashions and accessories from homewares, crafts and toys as well as a range of delicious produce from the Belvoir Estate available in the Farm Shop.

The gardens open from 9:30am, and visitors can also bring along their four-legged friends on an epic day out, with dogs on leads permitted in the grounds, but not in the adventure playground.
