    Green Tourism Award - Bronze

    Autumn/Winter- The property is closed during the Autumn and Winter months, though the Peter Pan garden is still accessible to any visitors. The property is open for set times during December for events including ‘Visit Santa in his Grotto’ in mid-December.

    Spring/Summer- There are a great many events during the opening season of the property. Between April – October there are various walks in the steps of Barrie around Kirriemuir, led by local author Sandra Affleck. There are also a series of children’s workshops throughout the summer months to coincide with the school holidays. The Peter Pan workshops take place twice a week in the Pirates Workshop and Peter Pan Garden, where children can be involved in arts, crafts, and games. Refreshments are also provided.

    The property itself is a hive of activity in the open season. There are a great many things to see including the rooms at No. 9, reconstructed to look as they would have done when Barrie lived at the house, as well as the exhibition rooms of No. 11. These rooms display important memorabilia, including early costumes and genuine manuscripts with notations from Barrie. There is also the newly created ‘Peter Pan Experience’ where children have the opportunity to dress up as Peter Pan and various other characters, and can even fly like him.
