Summer Holiday Activities at Sheffield Manor Lodge
Week 4: Castles & Dragons
Tue 13 August – Thu 15 August
Come along to Sheffield Manor Lodge during the fourth week of the summer holidays and travel back to the Middle Ages with medieval-themed crafts!
What you’ll be making:
• Fierce (or friendly) dragon masks with fire breath
• Mini castle customised with stickers and colours
• Mini catapult with a working firing mechanism
You will also be able to go on a quest trail in our grounds! Find hidden letters for the magic words to calm the grumpy dragon!
Build A Castle: Big Craft Project
This week we will be inviting visitors to help build a castle out of recycled materials. We’ve got all sorts of castle-shaped bits and pieces to help bring your designs to life. This will be a drop-in activity throughout the week which will be shared by children.
What else can I do?
• Dress-up in Tudor costumes
• Explore our historic sixteenth century Tudor ruins
• Discover the story of Mary, Queen of Scots in our newly interpreted Turret House
• Learn about weird and wonderful Tudor medicines in our apothecary garden
• Get lost in our lavender labyrinth, have fun in our sandpit and play outdoor games
Where can I eat?
Drinks and snacks are available to buy in The Discovery Centre and you are very welcome to have a picnic in our grounds.
The Rhubarb Shed Café down the road is open Wednesday to Sunday, 10am to 3pm. You can book a table by giving them a call on 0737 536 6429.
