A new play area at Stamford's Burghley House is set to open this Saturday, 29 April.

The new attraction, Hide & Secrets, will remember William Cecil, the 1st Baron of Burghley.

William Cecil was an English statesman, the chief adviser of Queen Elizabeth I for most of her reign, twice Secretary of State and Lord High Treasurer from 1572.

The team at Burghley have worked closely with world-class playground designers, CAP.Co Adventure Play, to create a wonderfully imaginative design, packed with playability which is sure to delight and excite children of all ages, while paying ode to this remarkable historic figure.

The area will be open later this month. Image credit: Burghley House.

The play area will be situated in an area of the garden adjacent to the Sculpture Garden that up until now has been closed to the public.

The attraction will be open on Saturday 29 April.
