As part of the Blossom & Play programme, families are warmly invited to a special visit to Crook Hall Gardens (National Trust Crook Hall Gardens, Durham) on Friday 13th June at 11am.

This relaxed and enjoyable day out offers families the chance to explore beautiful historic gardens, discover hidden corners, and spend time together in a peaceful outdoor setting. With blossom in full display, it’s a wonderful opportunity to experience nature, play, and curiosity in a new environment.

During the visit, families can:

• Wander through a variety of unique garden spaces
• Spot seasonal flowers and blossom
• Enjoy time together outdoors at their own pace

This visit is designed to be informal and welcoming, giving families the freedom to explore, relax, and connect.

Participating families will also receive National Trust Acorn admission passes, offering opportunities for future visits and adventures.

A gentle, nature-filled experience to enjoy together as part of your Blossom & Play journey.

Blossom & Play is part of Wild Imagining, a PLACE Lab initiative inviting communities across Durham City and surrounding villages to reimagine their connection with local green spaces through art, culture, and collective creativity. From parks and river paths to allotments and natural landmarks, Wild Imagining is where creativity meets community, and shared ideas take root in the landscapes we call home.
