Spunch! is an innovative, family-friendly adventure that combines physical activity with exploration and discovery. Designed to cater to all ages and skill levels, this unique mini-adventure invites participants to navigate through the picturesque Lyme Park using a vibrant map filled with 50 checkpoints scattered across the gardens and Cage Hill. Whether you choose to run or walk, bring your buggy along for little ones, or simply enjoy a leisurely stroll, Spunch! offers an engaging experience that accommodates everyone. The event utilizes the MapRun app on smartphones, allowing participants to track their progress efficiently as they visit checkpoints throughout the park. Lyme Park's stunning landscape provides the perfect backdrop for this adventure, featuring lush gardens and expansive parkland with paths suitable for pushchairs. Participants can explore at their own pace from 10am until 2pm, starting anytime during that window after registering on-site in the quad outside the main house’s ticket office. For newcomers to Spunch!, ample assistance is available throughout the event to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Dogs are welcome but must be kept under control with leashes at all times. The venue offers easy parking and access to restrooms, making it convenient for families and groups of friends alike. Join us this year as we partner with The National Trust to bring you an exciting taster event that promises fun, camaraderie, and a memorable day out in one of England's most beautiful settings. Don't miss the opportunity to download the MapRun app ahead of time for a streamlined registration process on the day. Lyme Park is located at SK12 2NX, offering an ideal setting for this adventure-filled event that celebrates movement, discovery, and community spirit.
