Event Games

Event Games sits just outside Royston and is exactly what it sounds like - a collection of outdoor activity stations where you can have a go at various games and challenges. Think giant Jenga, cornhole, croquet, that sort of thing. It's the kind of place where you rock up, pay your entry fee, and spend an afternoon mucking about with your mates or family.

The appeal is straightforward: if your kids are bored with sitting still and you fancy something more active than a theme park but less serious than proper sport, this works. Adults tend to enjoy it too - there's something satisfying about a competitive game of giant lawn games, even if you're rubbish at it. You'll want a couple of hours minimum, longer if you've got a group and want to rotate through everything.

Weather matters here. Summer weekends are the obvious play, but check before you go in heavy rain - the whole thing's outdoors and it gets muddy. It's not expensive, but it's not free either.

For a Cambridgeshire caravan holiday, this pairs nicely with nearby Shepreth Mill Caravan & Camping Holiday Park or the rather swankier Guilden Gate Glamping - both are within easy striking distance. Use it as a half-day activity while you're in the area rather than planning your whole break around it. The park makes sense as a rainy-day alternative to endless woodland walks, or when everyone needs to burn some energy at once.
