Something for Children

Here at Lainston House we have a range of events running throughout the year for children, from a Teddy Bear's Picnic in Summer to Santa's Workshops at Christmas. However, if you'd like to get the kids out and about there are many attractions aimed at children right on our doorstep.

With attractions including a menagerie of pets and farm animals to play with and feed, as well as a newly opened indoor play area, you're guaranteed to have an exciting family day out.
