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.
What to Expect When Visiting Lilidorei
Lilidorei operates on a pre-booked, ticketed basis, with sessions released in advance. Due to its popularity — particularly during weekends and school holidays — booking ahead is strongly recommended.
Many families choose to combine their visit with time spent exploring The Alnwick Garden itself, as well as other nearby attractions such as Alnwick Castle. A typical visit can comfortably form part of a full day in Alnwick.
