With a climbing tower and strategic interactive games for you to fight alongside the Royal Marines, it’s a fantastic history adrenalin rush for all the family.
For your animal loving family
Marwell Zoo not only offers exciting, interactive talks and tours around the zoo’s wildlife, it also works to protect both animals and their habitats in the UK and around the world. By visiting and exploring the Wild Explorers – a new exhibit opening this summer- where your family can enjoy the indoor and outdoor facilities, picnic and play areas and free road train, you’ll be contributing to the Marwell Zoo’s conservation projects around the world!
If your family would prefer a more hands on encounter with animals, Dunreyth Alpacas offer you and your family the chance to walk an Alpaca, adopt an Alpaca and, if you would like a souvenir, you can buy hand weaved Alpaca clothes from the very Alpaca’s you can walk!
To add a little culture and history to your day
Chichester has a rich source of culture and unique historical sites for you and your family to visit. If your family enjoy the theatre and all it has to offer then they’ll love the Chichester Festival Theatre.
Newly refurbished the theatre offers cafes, bars and a brand new auditorium. Some of the upcoming plays include:
Educating Rita (18th June-25th July) – a beautiful performance about the glory of education and the threat knowledge can have on the individuals personality.
Mack and Mable (13th July-5th September) – depicting a tragic love story and historic undertones, this comic musical is entertaining for all the family.
If you would rather travel back in time, however, the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum, located in Singleton, is a must see.
A collection of historic buildings from around Sussex, Surry, Kent and Hampshire, the museum offers an insight into our ancestors’ lives and with plenty of workshops and open spaces to run around in, this is an amazing site to relax and enjoy the full beauty of the countryside.
