Wimpole Estate in Arrington is taking part in the National Trust's 'Summer of Play' during the holidays.
The Summer of Play, sponsored by Starling Bank, sees different family activities take place across National Trust properties.
Activities will be held at Wimpole Estate from July 13 to September 1 and are free with entry.
Cycle hire will be available at selected dates throughout the summer, and is bookable via the website at www.nationaltrust.org.uk/wimpole-estate.
The hire scheme is new for 2024, with bikes available to hire from the welcome centre. Families can explore the estate by bike, taking in the surrounding countryside and passing ancient woodland and arable farmland.
Families can also enjoy giant Jenga and croquet on the lawns, as well as a puppet show and story time at the stable block outside the second-hand bookshop.
The storytelling takes place every Tuesday from July 16 to August 27, and is free with entry.
Visitors can explore Wimpole Hall's new listening trail - taking note of what they hear along the way, and children can burn off steam at the Home Farm Playground, which comes with large climbing frames, an adventure trail and accessible swings.
The nearby Farm Café will offer ice creams and hot drinks.
Other family events at Wimpole over the summer include carriage rides, which are available on selected dates between June and October.
Wimpole Shire horses will lead visitors on a 45-minute scenic route around the estate, starting and finishing at Home Farm.
Open air performances for children will also be held as part of the Sunset Series on selected dates in July and August.
Performances include Nightingale - a dance production based on the life and works of Florence Nightingale - and stage adaptations of children's classics The Railway Children and The Secret Garden.
