Announcing our six weeks of summer events

From Saturday 23^rd July look out for some exciting activities and events running for the six weeks of school summer holidays in the Park!

There is something for everyone to enjoy, from our holiday trails, guided walks and cycles to pond dipping, bug hunts, craft workshops and bushcraft sessions. Not to mention our daily watersports pay and play activities at Nene Outdoors, our cycle hire and boat trips on Overton Lake!

Find out what’s happening and when, with our Six Weeks of Summer Guide to family fun in the Park.

And while you're in the Park, make the most of the miles of surfaced paths for walking and cycling; the open meadows for picnics and ball games and the shady woodlands for a cooling escape from the midday sun. You can even explore further into the Nene Park Rural Estate with one of our Walking in Time heritage trails, discover the sculpture trail at Thorpe Meadows or even Peterborough's hidden gem; Longthorpe Tower.

Don't forget that our Visitor Centre, Gift and Farm shop contains everything you might need for a summer day out in the Park with family games, sun cream, picnic rugs, refreshing drinks, snacks and ice creams - and even ice creams for your dog!

We look forward to welcoming you to the Park over the summer.
