Summer of Play at the Eden Project is now on

Don't miss a Summer of Play at Eden

This summer, explore Eden to connect with family and friends in fun, hands-on activities – from outdoor games and storytelling, to den building and a board game compendium!

Plus – let your imagination run wild and create your own den! Our Stage and Arena have been transformed into a colourful, lively den village, with a range of materials to choose from, to take on the challenge of building your very own den, using team work and imagination.

Take your pick out of our family-friendly games and playful challenges to test your skills – including hoopla, giant Jenga and four in a row! Our Tipis will be home to an exciting board game compendium where you will be able to challenge yourself with all the classics or maybe learn to play something completely new.
