Child Painiting at Anouska's

kid's activities

From toddlers to teenagers, there are plenty of activities for your kids at The Grove. 

EXPLORE                                                                                                                                                                

Pick up a trail map and hit the ground running, or walking or skipping or cycling - bikes with helmets are available for all ages. Spot the bluebells in Spring, or the swallows in Summer. Tramp through rustling leaves in Autumn or find your perfect spot to build a snowman in Winter.

If you fancy perfecting your game then borrow some tennis rackets or croquet mallets and balls and take to the courts (or lawn) and decide whether its adults vs kids, or boys vs girls!

 

SPLASH OR SWIM                                                                                                                                                

Have a splashing time indoors or out! The Children’s indoor pool next to Anouska’s is fun for the whole family, or if the weather’s nice then head outside to the Walled Garden where the water’s warm and ice-lollies are on hand for the perfect sunny weather treat!
