Lydiard Park is a beautiful historic parkland on the western edge of Swindon. The Palladian house, restored 18th Century Walled Garden, 260 acre parkland and children’s play area offer something for everyone, all year round. With a programme of special events and the changing nature of the seasons, there’s always something new and exciting for all the family to enjoy on a visit here.

Lydiard Park is a great place for all the family to have fun, play, enjoy nature, discover more about the past or simply to relax and unwind.
We have an exciting programme of events lined up this summer from children's activities through to open-air theatre on the lawn in front of Lydiard House.

The park also hosts many events each year, which range from major festivals like the 2009 Radio 1 Big Weekend, fundraising events such as Race for Life, to community celebrations. Check out our events page for dates and details.
