Discover Lotherton, a country estate, historic hall, and Wildlife World zoo. The Edwardian estate is truly a great place for a family day out, with plenty to keep children and grown-ups entertained.
The expansive grounds and gardens are lovely walking spots, with or without four-legged companions. Each season brings new surprises including wild garlic in the spring, a sea of colourful blooms in summer in the formal gardens and stunning autumnal colours later in the year.
There are two playgrounds which means there's plenty of space for running about and letting off steam, with zip wires for older children to enjoy.
The estate’s evolving zoo, Wildlife World, is a real highlight of any visit - pop by to see the Humboldt penguins splash and swim in their pool. Other colourful characters include Arthur the tapir, a pair of porcupines and a flamboyance of pink flamingos. Stop in at the shop on your way to pick up your very own version of one of the Lotherton animals.
To discover the history of the estate step inside the former home of the Gascoigne family and wander the rooms to find out more. A fascinating collection of artworks and objects fill each room and tell the story of its former residents and the community around them. The Museum is also home to an annually-changing exhibition on the first floor which links the estate to wider themes and exciting discoveries.
The traditional stables area courtyard is where you'll find the welcoming Stables café serving a range of lunch options, cakes and ice creams.
To make the most of Lotherton there is an annual membership scheme which means regular trips, invitations to exclusive events and behind-the-scenes updates straight to your inbox.
