A Midsummer Night's Trail

Starting at the base of the Ragley Hall gardens in the Carnival Field, begin an evening walk through the magically-lit gardens as the Midsummer Night’s Trail story is told. Journey beneath the trees and up the hill, interacting with storytellers along the way to help out the fairies. A perfect experience for all ages in family groups, taking place 19:00-23:00 Friday-Sunday!

The Midsummer Night’s Trail is an exciting journey into the world of the King & Queen of the Fairies, (which audiences may be familiar with from Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream). In the trail, audiences are immersed in a seasonal dilemma in which families meet the Rusticus trees and embark on quest to help the King and Queen of the fairies to care for the natural world.

This route will be completely accessible to all. The end of the trail reaches a slightly steeper incline. For those who may be less abled, an alternative end route will be in place to avoid the incline. The experience will take approximately 30 minutes.

House Tours

Over the course of the weekend, drop into the stunning Ragley Hall for a guided tour between 10:00-17:00.

“As you venture through the Hall, you will discover that what makes Ragley uniquely special is that the collections displayed throughout our state rooms have all been accumulated by the same family over 9 generations. This really brings to life the fact that the Hall is still a lived-in family home.

When you take a tour with one of our guides, you will delve into the estate’s colourful history, from the initial design process by architect Robert Hooke in 1680 to the family’s contribution to art, in particular the Wallace Collection in Hertford House in London. From it’s use as a war hospital in WWII and the restoration project required afterwards, to the 14 year long creation of the beautifully illustrated South Staircase mural and the incredibly eccentric yet personal tales from its creation, our amazing team will bring to life the incredible stories from the Estate” - Private Tours, Ragley Hall.
