Calling Pokémon fans new and old! This Summer of Play, Pokémon are jumping into the great outdoors near you. Are you ready to share the magic with a new generation?

From Saturday 18 July – Monday 31 August, on top of an already jam-packed Summer of Play, discover all-new Pokémon zones. Get stuck into the Pokémon Trading Card Game, flex your skills and collect Mega Evolution stickers!

Alongside the Pokémon zone, step into a tropical paradise as you explore a series of sandpit zones nestled among tropical plants and lush grasses and see if you can build a sandcastle to rival Chirk. With sand funnels, sieves and scales at your fingertips, little imaginations can run wild as they experiment, explore and enjoy hours of hands-on fun.

There are plenty of challenges to tackle as you journey between the zones too – hop across stepping stones, test your balance on beams and wind through weave poles as fast as you can.

Still got energy to burn? Challenge friends and family to a game of volleyball, throw a Frisbee across the lawn or join in with colourful parachute play. You can even create your own summer soundtrack with a collection of musical instruments.

When it’s time to relax, stretch out in a hammock or recline in a deck chair and soak up the tropical atmosphere. Get creative with nature-inspired art using shells and stones, or try a few gentle yoga poses before continuing your adventure around the castle grounds.

Admission: Free event.
