The Maidenhead Beach at Norden Farm
One of our most popular attractions is back! Free for children and families to play on in the daytime and for adults to relax on in the evening.
Alongside the Beach, our Dive into Colour – Sensory Chill Out space returns to the Gallery over the summer. With free entry, you can head down and be transported to a world of colour and light.
The annex becomes the carriages of the Norden Express – designed and installed by local artist Jessica Thompson. Be transported to Norden-by-Sea while you enjoy lunch from our Café Bar overlooking the beach.
Enjoy our dressing up box and snap a selfie. Make sure to tag us @nordenfarm!
We’re running Beach Craft workshops throughout the summer where you can take part in crafty activities such as seaside windchimes, collage prints and train photo frames.
Plus – there are free activities to take part in the foyer including our Treasure Hunt, design your own postcard competition and mandala art. Complete the treasure hunt and unscramble the hidden word to win a prize! (prizes to be collected from the Box Office).
Other daytime events include family films, summer activity camps, beach craft workshops and a free chill out sensory space in the Gallery. Click here to view the full school holiday line up.
Evening events include live music, comedy gigs and arts workshops. Find out more about our free evening Beach Gigs this summer here.
