For families looking to make the most of the summer, Stockeld has also launched its Summer Membership, offering exceptional value across the school holidays. Priced at just £40, the pass provides unlimited entry from 4th July to 13th September, working out at around 70p per day.

Valid every day the park is open, the membership gives visitors the freedom to return again and again, making it easier than ever to enjoy everything the Summer Festival has to offer at their own pace.

At the heart of the festival is a vibrant daily entertainment programme on the festival stage, where visitors can join Stockeld’s adventurous mascot, Scout the Squirrel, and the Stockeld Stars for games, dancing and high-energy fun throughout the day.

Highlights include Scout’s Summer Show, family gameshows, giant bubble displays, silent discos and plenty of opportunities to meet Stockeld’s much-loved mascot.

A standout feature of the summer programme is Lunchtime Live, taking place every day at 1pm. Each week brings a rotating line-up of performers, from magicians on Magic Mondays to crowd-pleasing tribute acts on Tribute Tuesdays, alongside talented musicians performing family favourite hits throughout the rest of the week.

Headline tribute acts appearing across the summer include performances inspired by The Killers, Chappell Roan, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and more, ensuring something for every generation to enjoy.

On Bank Holiday Monday (31st August), visitors can enjoy both a Harry Styles tribute and a live magic performance as part of an extended day of entertainment, and are encouraged to keep an eye out for even more to come over the summer.

Beyond the stage, families can explore everything Stockeld Park has to offer, including interactive play in the Enchanted Forest and a brand-new summer trail, “Where in the World is Scout on his Holidays?”, in which children can follow clues to discover Scout’s global adventures.

In the Magical Maze, a themed summer challenge invites visitors to help Scout pack his suitcase by finding his lost items hidden throughout the winding paths. New for summer 2026, families can also enjoy a round of crazy golf, alongside much-loved attractions including giant inflatables, pedal go-karts, Buccaneer Boats and the Flying Stocksman.

Stockeld Park’s extensive outdoor adventure playgrounds and the award-winning Playhive - one of Europe’s largest indoor play centres - will also be open throughout the summer, ensuring a full day out whatever the weather

BBQ specials will be available on the festival field, adding to the relaxed summer atmosphere.

This year, Stockeld Park is supporting families by honouring the government’s temporary VAT reduction across the summer period.

Although the VAT relief ends on 1st September, Stockeld Park will continue to honour the same pricing through to the end of the summer season on 6th September, recognising that many local school holidays extend into early September.

A new children’s menu will also be introduced to take advantage of the reduced VAT rate, helping families make the most of their visit.

Peter Grant, Owner and Chief Fun Officer at Stockeld Park, said: “This summer is all about bringing families together for a full day of fun, entertainment and adventure.

"From live performances and festival vibes to outdoor play and new activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

"We’re also pleased to be able to support families further this year by passing on the benefits of the VAT reduction and extending that value right through to the end of the holidays.”

Tickets for the Summer Festival go on sale from June 5.
