The 100 acres of Ryton Pools Country Park are just waiting to be explored. The park’s many different habitats are home to a wide range of birds and other wildlife.

Gangsta Granny
Meet Ben: an 11-year-old who wants to be a plumber and who is fed up with spending his Friday nights at granny’s. All she wants to do is play scrabble and eat cabbage – not exactly his idea of fun!
Hungry and bored, Ben goes searching for something more edible in the kitchen and stumbles upon an old biscuit tin. The tin holds more than just digestives, however, it contains Granny’s biggest secret: Ben’s Granny is an international jewel thief - and she needs his help to pull off her biggest heist yet - stealing the crown jewels!
Heartbreak productions invite residents to share in this exciting escapade, a David Walliams best seller adapted for the outdoor stage. Join us, Ben, and his Gangsta Granny on their grandest adventure full of forbidden fun. It could be very hungry work so come prepared with picnics and appropriate outdoor gear.
Cafes will be open at both sites, along with ice cream.
