About Family After Hours Night

This summer, we’re keeping the fun going a little later with a special evening designed for the whole family.
Join us on Saturday 15th August for Family After Hours, where you can experience Pensthorpe in a completely different light as the reserve stays open into the evening from 5:45pm – 9pm.

As the sun begins to set and the reserve takes on a golden summer glow, families can enjoy an evening packed with relaxed fun, outdoor adventure and memorable wildlife moments.


Explore our award-winning outdoor play areas, take part in pond dipping sessions, enjoy special wildlife and flamingo talks, and soak up the atmosphere with great food, treats and plenty of space to enjoy a summer evening together.


Whether you’re roasting marshmallows, spotting wildlife as dusk approaches or simply making the most of a summer evening outdoors, Family After Hours is all about slowing down, staying later and enjoying Pensthorpe together.


Perfect for families looking for something a little different this summer holiday.
