May half-term

May half-term is looking ‘super’ at Stourhead! Come along to the Stableyard between 25 May and 2 June and learn how to become a climate superhero. Children can discover ways they can protect the planet, learn about what Stourhead does to tackle climate change and enjoy plenty of outdoor games and play. On the final day of half-term fun there will be the buzz-tastic bee balancing blundershow – a new, educational family-friendly musical designed to inspire young people to engage with environmental action. You'll want to bee there!
