Silver Band and Picnic Day Sunday 7th August

Looking for a lazy Sunday afternoon where you can chill out and listen to some music, and enjoy a picnic with family and friends? Then put the date in your diary - 7th August Borde Hill for our silver band and picnic. You can relax in the gardens, listening to a programme of popular music by this local band.

Summer Fun in August

School holidays are nearly here and we have activities for all the family to enjoy during the summer break:

• Splodge Arts and Crafts (making butterflies, insects and fish)
• Robbie the Magician - magic & tricks
• Fun with faces - face painting
• Animazing - Lizards, Spiders and Snakes - get hands on experience!
• Go Kart Party

Children and parents can trek through the magical woodlands and panoramic parkland that make Borde Hill a must-visit destination for all the family. 

Into an area renowned for its iron-making arrives a host of giant animal sculptures, crafted by creative blacksmiths Anvil Ironworks. Watch out for the wolf spider, crocodile and dragonfly and other animals, as well as flowers, all beautifully wrought and textured, that will create wonder and surprise around the garden.

Then, after all the activity, simply chill out and picnic by the water or relax in the Elvira café and enjoy a mouth watering selection of home produced foods.
