Curtains Up! Outdoor Play

19 July - 6 September 2026
10:00am - 6:00pm
Included in general admission

Step into a summer of storytelling, circus skills, dress-up and outdoor play at Harewood.

This summer, Harewood invites families to step into a world of imagination, creativity and play in the beautiful Sun Sides field. With the Lake as a backdrop and the House as your audience, the Grounds transform into a lively theatrical space filled with storytelling, dress-up, circus skills and outdoor games.

Children and grown-ups alike can take to the stage to perform favourite tales, invent new adventures or simply enjoy the magic of make-believe together. Budding performers can try hands-on circus activities, while interactive games and playful challenges encourage families to explore and create together across the Grounds.

Inspired by Cecil Beaton and the exhibition inside the House, there are also plenty of theatrical photo opportunities to capture your own star moment at Harewood this summer.
