Case Study: English Heritage
A fantastic example comes from English Heritage, who selected multiple traditional garden games from Heritage Gardens for use across several historic properties during the 2025 May Half Term. The aim was to provide visitors and families with engaging outdoor entertainment that reflected the character of each location. The result was highly successful. Classic games such as croquet and giant noughts & crosses encouraged families to stay longer, interact more with outdoor spaces, and enjoy an experience fully in keeping with the historic setting. This highlights the growing value of traditional games for heritage sites and visitor attractions.
