Head over to our stunning Sun Sides field in the Grounds of Harewood and take the stage, dress up, get creative, test your circus skills and play outdoor games.
This summer, step into a world of imagination at Harewood, where the Lake becomes your backdrop and the House your grand audience. We invite families to dive headfirst into a vibrant celebration of creativity, storytelling and play. From the moment you arrive, the Grounds transform into a lively stage bursting with theatrical wonder, laughter and discovery.
Young performers and grown-ups alike can bring their favourite stories to life on the Harewood stage, whether that means acting out classic tales, inventing brand-new adventures, or simply enjoying the magic of make-believe together. Dress-up stations are filled with costumes to spark every imagination, while budding entertainers can test their talents with hands-on circus skills, from balancing tricks to playful performances.
Across Sun Sides you’ll find traditional games and interactive activities designed for all ages to enjoy together.
Plus, don’t miss plenty of photo opportunities inspired by Cecil Beaton and the exhibition inside the House, perfect for capturing your own theatrical moments in style.
