What's on at Coventry Charterhouse this Summer?

Summer Dragon Workshops

• Wed 20 Aug 2025
  
• £7.50 per child
• Booking essential - find out more

Join us at Coventry Charterhouse for a magical, hands-on workshop all about dragons! These one-hour sessions begin with discovering fascinating facts about mythical dragons, then move into a series of creative nature-based activities.

Children and their grown-ups will make their own clay dragons, create nature dragon eggs, build nests for them to hatch in - and maybe even paint with dragon blood (don’t worry, it’s all part of the fun!).

This is a bookable workshop with set start times, not a drop-in session.

Children's Yoga

• Thu 21 Aug 2025

Bring your little ones for a fun and calming start to the day with children’s yoga in the walled gardens at Coventry Charterhouse. These 45-minute sessions are designed especially for 3–7 year olds, combining gentle movement, imagination, and playful relaxation in a beautiful outdoor setting.

It’s a lovely way for children to move their bodies, build confidence, and connect with nature in a calm and creative environment.

Mats and props are provided. Sessions cost £5, with normal admission to Charterhouse also required (free for National Trust members).
