The Watchers of Woodchester Mansion Adventure
This summer, Woodchester Mansion is inviting families to step into a world of imagination, mystery and play with a brand-new outdoor experience: The Watchers of Woodchester Mansion.
Running every Thursday (6th, 13th, 20th & 27th) throughout August, this exciting collaboration with immersive theatre specialists Rusticus promises an unforgettable day out where history meets storytelling and the landscape comes alive.
A Journey Beyond a Simple Visit
Families will begin their adventure in the grounds of Woodchester Mansion, where they’ll meet a curious Professor and their mysterious Assistant. What starts as a guided tour quickly transforms into something far more magical.
Inspired by the intricate carvings hidden throughout the Mansion – from gargoyles and beasts to creatures watching from the stonework – visitors are swept into an unfolding story that asks: what if these figures were more than decoration?
Guided by lively performers, families will journey through woodland and open spaces, meeting a series of unforgettable characters along the way – from a mischievous forest spirit to a fluttering butterfly and a playful bat. Each encounter brings interactive activities designed especially for children, blending creativity, movement and imagination with the landscape itself.
The adventure is entirely outdoors and will continue in all weathers. Each adventure lasts between 45mins and an hour.
Children must be accompanied at all times by a paying adult. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on the adventure.
