From spring crafts to summer silliness under canvas skies, there’s plenty happening in and around the ancient stones over the coming months. Here’s what’s lined up.
Mother’s Day Craft for Children
Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 March, 11am – 3pm
No need to book | £2 per craft pack
Families can head to the historic thatched barn at Avebury for a simple, hands-on Mother’s Day activity. Children will be able to create a colourful paper flower bouquet using a ready-made craft pack that includes everything needed to put together a thoughtful handmade gift.
It’s an easy drop-in session, ideal for younger visitors who like to get creative without too much fuss.

Spring brings the return of the Easter trail, inviting families to explore the historic farmyard and Manor Garden while tackling 10 activity stations along the way. Expect a mix of creative challenges and playful tasks designed to keep younger visitors engaged.
At the end of the trail, children can collect an Easter egg, with both standard chocolate and vegan and Free From options available. All eggs are made using Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa.
Outdoor Theatre: King Arthur and the Holy Fail
Friday 21 and Saturday 22 August
Gates open 5.30pm | Performance begins 6.30pm
Open-air theatre returns to the Manor Garden this summer as The Three Inch Fools bring their latest production to Avebury.
King Arthur and the Holy Fail promises fast-paced comedy, live music and a generous helping of medieval mischief. When an unlikely incident throws Camelot into chaos, Arthur finds himself thrust into a quest he may not be entirely ready for.
The performance lasts around 100 minutes, with a 20-minute interval, and will go ahead whatever the weather decides. Booking is essential via The Three Inch Fools’ website.
