Summer Fun at The Commandery 2024

Dive into ocean-inspired summer family mornings at The Commandery this summer!

Get crafty by creating your own shark, jellyfish, and colourful octopus to take home, and learn about how mammals stay warm in cold water with a science experiment.

Enjoy colouring in and puzzle sheets too, and of course a fantastic family trail all about the deep blue sea.

Leap back to medieval times in this questing family morning at The Commandery!

Learn how to fire a trebuchet (a type of catapult) in the gardens, play in castle tents and gallop with hobby horses.

You can also get creative by making your own crown and amulet – what design will yours have? Decorate a stained-glass window too, and enjoy medieval-themed colouring in and puzzles.

Explore further through The Commandery with a fun family trail! Can you complete the quest?

Once upon a time at The Commandery… there was plenty of fairytale fun to be had!

Create your own fairy, make a big bad wolf mask, and see if you can put Humpty Dumpty back together again. There’ll be colouring in and puzzle sheets to enjoy too.

In a building as old as this, there’s sure to be a fairytale or two to be found… Are you brave enough to follow the trail to find them all?
