Inspired by the leisurely pursuits of Rippon Lea’s former owners and guests, it’s an easy-going way to enjoy time together outdoors.
Challenge friends or family to a friendly round of lawn bowls, or organise a mini croquet tournament on the lawn. All equipment is provided, so you can simply turn up and play.
Make a day of it by booking lunch at Rippon Lea Food and Wine in nearby Rippon Lea Village, or bring a picnic and linger in the gardens. Mansion Tours are also available to book on site for an additional charge per person, subject to availability.
Picnic Hamper Orders
Make your visit to Rippon Lea Estate even more memorable with a gourmet picnic hamper from Peter Rowland Catering. Choose from a selection of sweet and savoury boxes, including gluten-free and plant-based options, with sizes perfect for couples, families and groups of up to six.
