Family Trail | Royal Carriages!

Friday 22 May – Sunday 31 May 2026 (including Bank Holiday Monday 25 May) | The Commandery

Celebrate the restoration of the crown this May half-term holiday with a trail of colourful royal carriages.

Can you find all of the beautifully decorated carriages around the building? From dragons to swans, you’ll have never seen carriages quite like these!

Carry on to the craft room and make your own Oak Apple mobile to take home with you too.

There’s lots more to enjoy on Bank Holiday Monday as The Commandery celebrates Oak Apple Day – a traditional celebration marking King Charles II’s return to the throne in 1660. Find out more and plan your day out.

General admission applies to all visitors + £3.50 for the carriage trail and craft activities; free admission to those with a season or residents’ pass. Find out more.

Book day tickets to The Commandery. Advance booking is not essential, you can just turn up, pay in the shop, and get stuck in!
