Lilidorei. World’s Largest Play Structure

Lilidorei – The World’s Largest Play Structure in Alnwick

Lilidorei is a unique outdoor play village located within The Alnwick Garden and is widely described as home to the world’s largest play structure. Since opening in 2023, it has quickly become one of the most popular family attractions in Alnwick.

Designed as a hidden mythical village, Lilidorei is built around imaginative, active play. Children can explore a network of towers, bridges, tunnels and slides, all set within a richly themed outdoor environment that encourages creativity and adventure. The experience is entirely outdoors and is best suited to families, though adults are very much part of the journey too.
