25 July – 6 September 2026
Looking for the perfect family day out this summer? Symondsbury Summer Fun is packed with outdoor adventures for little explorers. Pick up a £4 Summer Explorer Trail Booklet from the Visitor Centre and discover magnificent trees, spot wildlife and complete fun nature challenges as you explore the Estate. Keep your eyes peeled too – somewhere along the trail, a magical hidden bumble bee is waiting to be found, with an extra special prize for those who spot it.
Alongside the trail, children can enjoy our free giant lawn games, perfect for letting off steam and adding even more fun to your visit. At Symondsbury Estate, we believe there’s something truly special about encouraging children to slow down, look a little closer and connect with nature, creating memories that last long after the summer holidays are over.
After your adventure, relax with lunch, an ice cream or homemade cake at Symondsbury Kitchen, browse our independent shops or simply enjoy more time together in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Whether you visit for the day or return throughout the holidays, Symondsbury Estate is the perfect place for families to explore, play and enjoy summer together.
