Fairy-tale fun for all the family at Bowhill
14th June, 2017
Second to the right and straight on till morning was the call to Lost Boys and Tinkerbells for a magical weekend at Bowhill House and Country Estate.
The recent Peter Pan-themed weekend, attracted hundreds of families to the Borders as the Bowhill rangers welcomed 569 visitors across the three days of activity.
Families braved the threat of a thunderstorm to build dens like Lost Boys, create glittering wands to chant for fairies and voyage on a crocodile hunt led by Captain Hook.
The whole family also had the chance to go on the lookout for Shadows during tours of Bowhill House and sprinkle pixie dust around the Estate on Tinkerbell trails and treasure hunts.
Rory Powell, Countryside, Learning and Engagement Ranger, said: “It was fantastic to welcome so many families for a journey through Neverland taking part in our range of outdoor adventures.
“The tale of Peter Pan is one of my favourites and with the enthusiasm from the kids – and adults that just don’t want to grow up – it was a fun filled weekend for everyone.
“We hope to welcome many of the families back as well as new faces to explore Bowhill Estate and the activities we have to offer throughout the season.”
The Estate is open now until the end of September and boasts a packed calendar of ranger led activities for visitors of all ages alongside House tours, heritage talks, theatre performances and much more.
Entry for the Estate and Gardens costs £4.50 for adults and £3.50 for concessions and children aged 3-16 years. Under 3 years go free and families (two adults and two children) cost just £14.
