Families are among our most important visitors. Play is part of the fabric of Rheged, from free outdoor play to a giant cinema. This summer our programme is packed full of activities for all ages and we have family films showing

Journey through 6 stories and experience...
In our interactive hands-on exhibition
James is the loneliest little boy in the world. One afternoon, fantastically peculiar events begin to unfold... Crawl into the Giant Peach and meet James’ new friends. Give Centipede a hand with his boots!
Go through the gates of Cruncham Hall but be careful not to get thrown out of the playground by your pig tails or even worse into the Chokey! Three horrid farmers - Boggis, Bunce and Bean - hate cunning Mr Fox, who outwits them at every turn. Venture into the farm yourself and sneak plump chickens and juicy apples, but beware, the farmers are never far from the scene.
Nobody has seen Willy Wonka — or inside his amazing chocolate factory — for years. Step inside Willy Wonka’s factory where many wonderful surprises await! Whatever you do, DON’T PRESS ANY BUTTONS, or who knows what might happen?
Walk into Mr and Mrs Twit’s house where you will see the Muggle-Wump monkeys have been hard at work and turned the terrible Twits’ house upside down!
Enter The BFG’s cave where a mystical and magical world of dreams await but watch out for the sleeping giants!
