A bold, beautiful and brand-new woodland playground is opening at Waddesdon Manor

In 2026, an exciting new woodland playground at Waddesdon will open – free for all the family to enjoy.

The playground has been designed specifically for the Manor and its woodland setting, offering a rich connection with nature through play with imaginative structures, swings, slides and much more.

This unique, bespoke design is made using natural wood and other materials and has been created by playground specialists TouchWood exclusively for Waddesdon. The new space will be bigger, better and bursting with areas to climb, run and play or just enjoy being outdoors, and include extended easily accessible pathways for parents to get involved too.

And with this new playground bringing more outdoor fun and experience, 2026 will see nature-inspired activities and events throughout the year.
