Play and a picnic beside the historic centre / OAKHAM

Cutts Close Park, Oakham

Make Cutts Close the relaxed part of an Oakham visit. A picnic, a seat or time in the play area can break up the castle and museum without adding another complicated booking. Its central position makes it useful when children need movement or you simply want a quieter pause.

Before you go

Check the council’s event calendar if you want a bandstand concert or family event. Summer performances are scheduled occasions, not an everyday feature of the park.

Visiting with children: Choose age-appropriate play and keep toddlers clear of skate activity. Bring food or plan a town-centre break rather than assuming the park has a continuously open café.
