Lilidorei is the vast fairy-tale play village at The Alnwick Garden, opened in 2023. Its giant timber play structure has been recognised by Guinness World Records as the largest in the world, and it's surrounded by woodland trails, themed houses, storytelling and costumed characters.
Why it's on our list: for families with children it's one of the most memorable days out in the county, and it pairs naturally with The Alnwick Garden itself.
Worth knowing: it's ticketed separately from the Garden and is closed on some weekdays outside the school holidays, so book and check opening days ahead.
Lilidorei looked enormous fun, and we could certainly see ourselves returning with Flynn when he’s a little older. From what we saw, we imagined it being particularly exciting for children around two to eight, though that’s our impression rather than an official age recommendation.
