Last week, we revealed some hugely exciting news that we’ve been keeping under wraps…
This year, we will open Guildenacre, a brand-new children’s adventure playground set within one of the Estate’s beautiful woodland areas.
Designed and created by world-class playground specialists CAP.CO (Creating Adventurous Places), Guildenacre will offer an immersive and imaginative play experience unlike anything else on the Estate.
The new playground will feature four themed areas, each inspired by one of Guildenacre’s guardian animals and their natural habitat — from burrowing deep underground to soaring high among the treetops. Across the site, young adventurers can explore slides, tunnels, towering walkways, climbing walls, a zip line and much more.
Alongside the adventure playground, modest refreshment facilities will be created within the Grade II listed Wades Barn, which will serve as the welcoming entry point for visitors preparing to embark on their magical Guildenacre experience.
Construction — including the creation of a dedicated car park — will continue into early 2026 ahead of the planned opening later this year.

Friday 20 March – 6.00pm
The Magic of Mozart
The Magic of Mozart invites listeners into the radiant world of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, where elegance, wit and emotional depth intertwine with effortless grace. A captivating programme celebrating one of classical music’s most beloved composers.
Friday 20 March – 8.30pm
The Best of Pink Floyd
Experience the psychedelic soundscapes and soaring instrumentals of Pink Floyd’s greatest works. From The Wall to The Dark Side of the Moon, this powerful concert is a journey through music that is both timeless and transcendent.

If you’d like, I can also provide a slightly more romantic, mood-led version to enhance the “moonlit concert” atmosphere.
