Explore our enchanting garden as it transforms into a magical mythological realm throughout the summer months.

Young adventurers can find five play zones, each with its own distinct mythological creature. Along the way, enjoy a variety of garden games and hands-on activities. Whether you’re helping the trolls build dens in the Play Glade or simply soaking up the magical atmosphere, there is something for the whole family to enjoy.
