6 Activities To Keep Your Kids Entertained At Hesdin!
Hesdin Estate is basically your golden ticket to stress-free, “can we stay forever?” family magic.
We’re talking private pools, pizza ovens, mini pigs with main-character energy, and enough fun to wear them all out by bedtime (miracles do happen). Here’s your sneak peek at all the chaos, cuddles, and countryside charm waiting for you at Hesdin.
Just try not to fall in love, we dare you.
1. Make a Splash, Skip the Crowds
Say goodbye to 7 a.m. sun lounger scrambles and hello to your own private, heated swim spa in Hayho House. It’s like your own personal waterpark… minus the queues and wet changing rooms.
And yes, the grown-ups are absolutely allowed to join in. Best of all? You don’t have to share it with anyone but your crew, and maybe a flamingo floaty or two.
Swim, soak, and splash in total luxury. Bonus points for underwater handstands and competitive water fights.
2. Hesdin’s Most Adorable Residents
Get ready to fall head over trotters. They might be called mini pigs, but don’t let the name fool you - these guys have big personalities.
These cheeky charmers are a guaranteed hit with the little ones, and pretty irresistible to the grown-ups too. And if you’re lucky enough to book Pigertons, you can even spot them from the roof terrace while sipping your morning coffee, the ultimate feel-good start to your day.
They’re the unofficial mascots of Hesdin, and you will leave with 47 photos of them in your camera roll.
3. Game On
Rain or shine, the fun never stops! Our games rooms come packed with pool tables, Xbox consoles, foosball, and everything in between. And if it’s a huge gaming marathon you’re after, Pigertons comes equipped with 7 TV’s, 4 boxes and 16 controllers for multiplayer gaming!
Whether you’re aiming for glory or just here for the laughs, there’s something for everyone to dive into
Warning: fierce competition and sibling rivalry guaranteed! Let the games begin.
4. Hot Tubs, Happy Kids, and Family Chill Time
Spa day isn’t just for grown-ups! Kids can soak, splash, and relax like mini monarchs in the onsite hot tubs and saunas, while parents enjoy some well-deserved downtime. At Hesdin Hall, the outdoor pool and hot tub combo makes it feel like your very own countryside retreat.
It’s the perfect way for the whole family to unwind together, creating moments of calm and joy that everyone will cherish long after the holiday ends.
5. Fire Up Fun
Get ready for a hands-on feast the whole family will love!
Watch the magic happen as your pizzas bake in the outdoor Ooni oven and burgers sizzle on the BBQ - perfect for little ones to gather around and cheer on the cooking action.
It’s fun, it’s lively, and keeps the kids entertained while the parents handle the heat.
6. Cosy Nights & Twinkly Skies
Evening looking too good to stay inside? Head out and let the magic continue - enjoy starry skies, cosy fires, and countryside charm.
Wealthy Merchant is perfect for marshmallow toasting, heroic bedtime tales, and family sing-alongs.
Get cosy and grab yourselves a hot chocolate - these are the memories that last forever.
