One of the world's largest play structures
Creating one of the world’s largest play structures, Lilidorei will raise the profile of the area in national and international visitor markets, converting Alnwick and North Northumberland from a day trip to a multi-day destination. This will help to attract more visitors year-round, and help to reduce the productivity gap.
Set around three towers aligned to a mythical theme conceived as part of an Elf Kingdom, visitors will be able to explore adventure pathways, catwalks and tunnel slides, as well as a range of roofed and elevated structures.
Imaginative, complex and dynamic fun
This unique play structure will be complemented by a settlement of 30 small, earthy wooded houses located in a clearing. This village will complement the existing treehouse and forest environment at The Garden, and will have its own backstory, mythology and characters that will form the basis of a range of imagination-prompting activities.
This incredible play area will be imaginative, complex and dynamic. It will challenge children and adults alike, inspiring them as they explore and have fun.
