Before visiting, please check local and national government guidance on travelling.
Book your visit
You don’t need to book your Easter trails, but you will need to book your Easter visit. To manage visitor numbers so that social distancing can be ensured for the safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors, the pre-booking system still applies. Booking will provide access to the property, not the Easter adventures in nature trail, which can be purchased on the day.
Tickets are released every Friday, so you won't be able to book your Easter visit until Friday 26 March. Book your visit at https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/the-vyne/whats-on

Rooftop walkway
As we save this former Tudor palace, watch a major conservation project at roof level. While you're up there, don't forget to take in the views of The Vyne Estate. The walkway is accessible by stairs and by a lift.
Great for families
The Vyne boasts 2 play parks, 1 with tunnels and streams to dam, the other is in a walled garden, with small ride on tractors.
The large house has actvities for the children to find, and there is a lovely trail with bird watching hut.
What to wear?
Outdoor clothing and sensible footwear appropriate for the weather. Ski suits are really good for children when taking part in autumn and winter outdoor activities as they keep the child snug and offer brilliant protection when splashing in puddles :) We have ones similar to this.
They have a really good bird watching area over looking marsh land. This kit contains everything you need to take your family bird watching, including bird identifcation cards and binoculars.
There are also some lovely nature trails. Allowing your little ones to go bug hunting under logs and in the leaves.
There are so many trees in the Vyne, why not make a little educational trip. get your little ones a book or worksheet and help them identify the trees you find.
