Throughout the holiday, young explorers can also enjoy a voyage – with backpacks containing everything one needs to discover the secrets of the formal gardens between 11am and 4pm.

Learn how to use a compass, go pond dipping, scour the treetops for birds and identify the creepy crawlies in the undergrowth.

Backpacks are free to hire but a £5 deposit is required, fully refundable at the end of your visit.

You can pick up your explorer backpack from the garden shelter on your way into the gardens.
