Get ready for a summer packed with fun at South Foreland Lighthouse! From classic games like hula hoops, skipping, and sack races to nature-inspired activities and mindful moments in our Chillout Zone, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Explore our Nature Zone, build a den, or create art with natural materials. On select days, book a lighthouse tour and relax in our Exclusive Zone with deckchairs, picnic blankets, and binoculars.
Games and zones are free and available daily (weather permitting). While the kids play, treat yourself to tea and cake at Mrs Knott's Tea Room.
Free entry to the lighthouse grounds. Parking charges apply (free for National Trust members) at White Cliffs Visitor Centre where you can walk to the lighthouse.
Summer of Play is proudly supported by Starling Bank.
