It’s all fun and games at Wrest Park this summer, with loads of activities for the whole family to get stuck into.
We’ve partnered with TV’s Taskmaster to set you silly challenges as you explore. Collect your Taskmaster score card and complete your tasks. There might be a rubber duck or two to spot on the way too. Celebrate your silliness with some selfie shots when you reach the finishing zone.
Please note: Alex and the Taskmaster team sadly won’t be doing the tasks with you … which does mean you’re in charge. Questionable. But exciting.

Plus, aim for a hole in one with mini golf, and use your imagination to build your own nature themed play structure.
