Families in Washington looking for activities during the upcoming half-term break can head to Washington Old Hall for a day of outdoor sports on Friday 29 May 2026.
The National Trust property is hosting the May half term: Sports event in the site’s garden. Activities will take place in the nuttery, a hazelnut orchard area, and are suitable for children of all ages when accompanied by an adult.
The event is designed as a drop-in activity, meaning no booking is required. Families can participate during two sessions, which run from 11:00 to 12:30 and again from 13:30 to 15:00.
While the sports activities themselves are free to attend, normal admission charges apply for entry to the venue. Adult tickets are £7.00, and tickets for children aged 5 to 17 are £3.50, with various family options also available.
Washington Old Hall is located at The Avenue, Washington Village, and is a historic manor house parts of which date back to the 17th century known as the ancestral home of the family of George Washington. Visitors are encouraged to explore the grounds, which also feature a parterre, a small play area with a wooden castle, a bug hotel, a pond, and a bird hide.
