Families

Pick up one of our wildlife surveying sheets and become a nature detective as you explore. Spot birds in the trees, look for insects among the grass and see what signs of life you can find in different habitats. These simple, hands-on activities are a great way for children (and grown-ups) to slow down, get curious and connect more deeply with the landscape. Drop in for making activities in our Learning Hub and spend time in the tipi reading nook, with a selection of art and nature themed books to discover. Experience our School in Residence exhibition, showcasing an installation of Artwork created by Year 7 pupils from Chichester High School. 

Join Darren Norris, Goodwood Estate’s Natural Landscape Manager, for a fun, family-friendly walk around the landscape. Discover the birds that call this place home, learn to spot different species and listen out for their songs, while exploring the habitats they live in and hearing stories from Darren along the way.

24 offers a nourishing children’s menu alongside a seasonal selection for grown-ups, made with organic and locally sourced ingredients.

Tea, coffee and pastries are served from 10am, with lunch available from 11am. Light refreshments available throughout the day.

Highchairs are available and baby changing facilities are located in 24.

Our self-guided art trails for children are designed to spark curiosity through play, observation, and creativity. Pick up an activity card at the Visitor Information desk in The Gallery and let the adventure begin. 

Discover meandering pathways through ancient woodland, wooded glades and wildflower meadow. Our landscape is buzzing with wildlife, with plenty of space for adventurous little ones to let off some steam. 

Walking routes vary from 30 minutes to an hour and a half, with inspiring works of contemporary art to discover along the way. Woodchip paths allow for all terrain style pushchairs to easily navigate across the site.
