Things to do this summer with the kids

With the school holidays fast approaching here is a quick round up of things to do with the kids in the Richmond area this summer. Balancing everything these days is tough. So we’ve looked for days out that are free or won’t break the bank.

Here are some great activity ideas that will keep the kids busy and keep the grown ups happy too:

WIDE OPEN SPACES

Richmond has many great green spaces, all free and all huge! There are usually cafes and kids areas in some, and in others, herds of deer to keep them distracted! Places like Richmond Green, The Old Deer Park and of course Richmond Park are all extremely popular, great for picnics but big enough to avoid the crowds!

You can read our list of favourite local ‘green space’ recommendations here.

THE RICHMOND MYSTERY TREASURE TRAIL

The kids can be detectives and join the treasure trail around Richmond. It’s great fun and ideal for kids over four years. It’s £9.99 per child but it is over two hours and great fun.

You can find out all you need to know and book here.

HAM HOUSE

Ham House is a magnificent National Trust property right on our door step. It’s open generally daily during summer and costs £14 per adult and £7 per child. The gardens and outdoor spaces are beautiful and there is a cafe and toilets.

Find out more here.

LOCAL MARKETS

What if we told you there were more local markets in the area than you could shake a stick at!

There are seven to visit and they all offer something different. East Sheen market provides lots of fun and things to do and we just love Twickenham Farmers Market every Saturday just behind Marks and Spencer.

Find out all about the local markets with times, dates and a run down of whats happening here.

If you search for things to do in Richmond many of these recommendations will come up. The area has something for everyone and as you can see there are lots of things to do for free or on a minimal budget.

We wish you an enjoyable summer!

Very responsive, informative and always kind people. We didn't have much time, but they helped us with creating some time in their agenda and squeezing us in. We rented our place just in time, thanks to them.

Parkgate has been my agent of choice for a number of years now and has secured good tenants for my properties. They are hard working, respond in a timely manner and best of all are always friendly rather than aggressive or overbearing, which is the case with many of their competitors.

Excellent service throughout.We rented a property that they manage for 4 years.Parkgate team is very professional and approachable. Way better than dealing with a big agency, they offer a more personal approach, always available and willing to solve any issues.From the tenancy agreement to handing the property back, it has been a real pleasure working with them.

I have had an eight year relationship with Parkgate, in fact they originally sold my flat to me 12 years ago in Putney. Their service and professionalism is unrivalled. They managed the leasing of my flat from 2014 and assisted me to negotiate the successful sale just now in 2022. Chris has been there throughout with an open door and no request too trivial to assist. Klaudia negotiated my sale and worked with amazing tenacity throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend Parkgate to anyone in the Putney/Richmond area, they know their stuff.

We have had a wonderful experience with Parkgate and would highly recommend them. Chris was brilliant on the valuation - what we liked is he was totally honest about our chances of selling and gave us the positives and negatives about our property (such as facing a council estate!). Other agents tend to just gush over the good bits which is great, but actually not that helpful.The selling process was great - we were given good feedback from the viewings and got the price we wanted within about 8 weeks.We really have nothing but praise for Klaudia and Chris, it's been really enjoyable, easy and stress free and we will be recommending Parkgate to all our friends in the area and our building.***** Thank you! *****
