Inspiration • July 13th, 2026

With a range of activities designed to bring families together, it promises to be a memorable experience for everyone.
Six Weeks of Fun

Giant garden games and outdoor challenges
Refreshing water-based activities to beat the summer heat
Decade-themed music and pop-up entertainment
Interactive family experiences with surprise activities
Plenty of chances to get outdoors, play together, and create lasting memories
These activities are designed to help families bond and enjoy quality time together, whether they are revisiting games from their childhood or discovering new favourites.

A Message from the Co-Founder
Tor Carver, Co-Founder and Creator of William's Den, shared his enthusiasm for the upcoming summer event:
"Summer holidays should be about getting outdoors, making memories, and spending quality time together as a family. With The Big Summer Rewind, we've created six weeks of adventures inspired by six different decades, giving families something new to enjoy every time they visit. We know families are looking for great value this summer, which is why we're delighted to be freezing our admission prices and launching a Summer Pass that lets visitors come back again and again throughout the holidays. It's all about helping families make the most of summer and creating the kind of childhood memories that last a lifetime."
