Things to do this weekend in Kent - Saturday, December 28 and Sunday, December 29
Winter walks, hungry tigers and family raves!
There's a wide variety of things to do and see this weekend in Kent. We've picked out some firm family favourites:
The Tiger Who Came To Tea, Knole Park, Sevenoaks
Running until January 5
Did you catch The Tiger Who Came To Tea Christmas Eve animated special? Continue the story this weekend with a visit to the special National Trust exhibition currently at Knole in Sevenoaks.
Children and adults will love the parkland trail, dressing up, interactive play, the chance to see some original drawings - and there's even a life size tiger to cuddle too! Ticket information and admission details available here.
Sissinghurst Castle, Winter Garden Opening
Saturday, December 28 and Sunday, December 29
Get out for a walk through the gorgeous gardens at Sissinghurst Castle which are open every weekend in December displaying parts of the grounds not normally open at this time of year. For admission details click here.
Zog trail, Bedgebury Pinetum
Running until Sunday, January 5
The trail at Bedgebury Pinetum in Goudhurst is based on the book by Julia Donaldson about the loveable - if somewhat clumsy - dragon at Dragon School who is always striving to win a golden star.
Youngsters can follow the trail markers through the woods to find familiar characters from the story, collect stars as you learn like Zog did at dragon school, and complete interesting challenges along the way.
A £3 Zog activity pack available to buy at the visitor centre includes a special lens which reveals hidden pictures along the trail, a booklet with fun activities, and a Zog mask to help make your day picture perfect. To learn more click here.
Ice skating, countywide

Kent's outdoor ice rinks remain open this weekend and could be the ideal place to visit for families in need of a little fresh air after Christmas. Suitable for children of all ages, find details of all those open across the Christmas and New Year period by clicking here.
