What’s On for Families in Ely This Summer

There’s something to do every day… 


We are very proud of our Summer Holiday Activities, as there is literally something to do every day of the week! 


The Beach at Ben’s Yard is open from tomorrow, 18th July. Plenty is going on at Burwell Museum too, with children’s admission free every Thursday.  The four main attractions in Ely have all come together to offer a programme of activities (see poster above). There’s also a mini puzzle trail to complete (with prizes) at Oliver Cromwell’s House, and every Friday there’s dress-up day where you can explore what it was like to be a child living in Ely in the 17th Century.  There is an explorer tour every Saturday at 2 pm, suitable for all ages (tickets available from Oliver Cromwell’s House). Pets are also welcome. Tours are 90 mins long.

Lastly, check out the National Trust properties and what they are up to here.
