Blists Hill Summer of Play

About This Event

The Blists Hill Summer of Play offers activities for young visitors at Ironbridge Gorge, including sandcastle building and water play. The programme runs during the summer season for families to engage with historical and playful experiences. Admission is required to enter the site.

Young visitors can spend time building sandcastles on our very own inland beach, or enjoy the simple pleasure of splashing in our refreshing water play. Dress in your seaside best and take a leisurely stroll, discovering lively entertainments, performance play, and a range of hands-on activities inspired by days gone by.

With a changing weekly programme of amusements, there is always something new to discover, inviting you to return time and again throughout the summer.

With laughter, play, and a touch of seaside nostalgia at every turn, Blists Hill on Sea offers the perfect setting to make joyful summer memories together.
