Information - Constable 250 Mini Mansions Takeover
On the 3rd of June Make Play invites children aged 0-5 and their families to explore Constable’s Garden, a brand new hands-on, immersive playscape inspired by John Constable’s painting: Golding Constable’s Kitchen Garden.
Children can wander, crawl, climb, and play in a playscape full of tactile surprises inspired by Suffolk landscape and heritage designed to engage the senses, inspire creativity, and support early learning. These are free, open-ended play sessions at 10 AM, 10:45 AM, and 11:30 AM, open to all families with children under 5, limited spaces so booking is essential. Parents/carers must stay with their children throughout the session.
The main session will be on the ground floor, with pushchair access to the Lower Tudor Room. For useful information, such as how to find us and what facilities the Mansion has, we recommend reading our Access information: Access at Christchurch Mansion
Mini Mansion sessions are designed for pre-school children and their carers – they are unsuitable for larger nursery groups.
About Make Play
Make Play is an Ipswich based arts organisation that designs innovative and intriguing spaces for children and their families. We use art, sensory exploration, and imaginative play to inspire learning, curiosity, and creativity from an early age.
Constable’s Garden is part of Constable 250 and is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we will be able to explore Constable’s art and legacy through 2026.
