EVENT DESCRIPTION
Join us for our end of summer garden party, ‘The Last of the Summer Fling’ - a fun-filled day in our 17th century heritage Gardens. Pack your own rug, picnic hamper and sit back and relax in between welly throwing, croquet and plenty of traditional games on the lawns to suit all ages!
For the little ones in our Families: Today’s the day the teddy bears have their picnic! The Killruddery bears are back again for another year and will be sure to welcome all their little friends around the Gardens.
Also open for poorly visitors, the Teddy Bear & Doll’s Hospital in aid of Barretstown will be patching up your favourite cuddly toys and dolls in the Orangery. Open 10.30 - 13.00 and 14.00 - 15.30, leave them to be well-looked after while you enjoy an afternoon of activities, before picking them up to bring home at the end of the day when they have been brought back to full health by the voluntary nurses. Proceeds from this year's Hospital will be donated to Barretstown to support their work - rebuilding lives affected by childhood illness.
Our partners in Alive Outside will be on the Bowling Green with their exciting new activity Bubble Football! Suitable for both kids and adults, this brilliant new activity combines the chaos of football with the fun of bouncing around in giant inflatable zorbs – expect plenty of bumping, rolling and uncontrollable laughter!
Back for another year Me + The Moon will be running their Make a Mini Garden Workshop. Drawing inspiration from Killruddery, create your own mini garden. What will yours include? We will make mini sketchbooks to gather ideas and inspiration.
This is a magical family day out to enjoy the Gardens at Killruddery as the summer draws to a close and to appreciate the simple joys of imaginative play. Picnic's are welcome, there will also be plenty of food and drinks for you to purchase at your leisure - We look forward to seeing you there!
