How to Make Summertime Fun for the Kids
12th Jun 2025
Things to Do This Summer at Stockeld Park
What’s there to do this summer holiday? With six weeks to prepare for, it’s normal for you, as a parent or carer, to feel a bit overwhelmed.
Kids are easily pleased but can get bored just as quick, so having enriching activities to keep them entertained can feel quite the task. With this in mind, we’re excited to announce that our summer-long adventure is back and it’s going to be better than ever!
What’s on During Summer?
Live Tribute Acts Every Week
Festival season is here! We’re kicking off summer with a lineup of amazing tribute acts that everyone knows and loves. Our summer festival takes place outdoors, so you and your kids can soak up the sun and sing along to your favourite hits.
If the weather turns, we’ll take the party indoors so the music never stops! We have great facilities for an indoor festival, so come rain or shine, we’re ready to party.
So, what superstars do we have lined up? Our tribute acts are here every Tuesday (and on bank holiday Monday!) at 1pm, so make sure to book tickets for the star you want to see:
-
Lewis Capaldi - Tuesday 22nd July
-
Justin Timberlake - Tuesday 29th July
-
Sabrina Carpenter - Tuesday 5th August
-
Bruno Mars - Tuesday 12th August
-
Olivia Rodrigo - Tuesday 19th August
-
Ariana Grande (Wicked themed) - Monday 25th August
-
Taylor Swift - Tuesday 26th August
Exciting Magic Shows Every Monday
Every week, we’ll host a magic show on our festival stage for your kids to learn a spellbinding trick or two.
Across most of the summer, Professor Dan will be our resident magician who has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. His show is full of surprises, featuring an exciting mix of sleight of hand, illusion and balloon modelling.
On the 4th and 25th of August, Ray Burrell, a popular children’s entertainer, will be stepping in with more fun games and magic tricks.
Family Fun Activities
The festival stage is packed with fun activities for the kids all day, so if you miss out on the main acts, you won’t be left wondering what to do next!
There will be non-stop dance parties, giant bubble games, family game shows and silent discos that the whole family can enjoy. Just be ready to whip out some dance moves when it’s time to start grooving!
Scout the Squirrel Summer Show
Our super-friendly mascot, Scout the Squirrel, returns with a fantastic summer show that’ll get everyone on their feet. If you time it right, you might just bump into Scout for a hug or two. He’s always up for a photo, so keep your phone close by!
