Moultonborough, NH –
June is the first full month of Castle in the Clouds’ 2026 season and there are plenty of programs for everyone.
Continuing in June is the Look Around Lucknow: 20th Anniversary Search. This free, family-friendly, scavenger hunt runs from May 23 through June 6, culminating with an award ceremony on June 7 from 1-2pm. Those interested in participating will use the PlayTours app to find various locations around the property at any point between dawn and dusk during the program’s duration.
Solar Gazing, another family-friendly program, is back on Sundays from 11am to 4pm. Safely look at the sun with the aid of special telescopes and the expertise of New Hampshire Astronomical Society members. This program takes place in the field across from Shannon Pond. If the weather conditions are unsuitable for seeing the sun, guests can still chat with an astronomer in the Winnipesaukee Room instead. For those interested in stargazing, you can attend Constellations at the Castle on June 18 from 8 to 10pm.
Rounding out June’s family-friendly programs are the Story Trail Grand Opening on Saturday, June 13 from 11am to 1pm at the Picnic Pavilion (rain date will be Sunday, June 14) and our first Story Time and Craft Hour of the year. Come celebrate the Castle’s new Story Walk with partner Altrusa who will be handing out free books. There will also be crafts and games for families to participate in. The Story Walk, itself, has already been installed and is open to the public. Moultonborough Public Library’s children’s librarian will be back at the Picnic Pavilion on Mondays from 11am to 12pm, starting on June 29 to read stories and help participants with crafting. Each week there is a new theme and a new matching craft!
June is also a great month for hiking at Castle in the Clouds! Join our volunteers for Saturday Hikes on June 6, 13, and 20, starting at 9am or for a Guided Hike on Thursday, June 11 or 25 starting at 10am. Additionally, Volcanoes and Cellar Holes: the History of Ossipee Park is back on alternating Thursday mornings at 10am (June 4 and 18), which is a great way to learn about the estate’s history while walking along a couple of different hiking trails.
There are more Lucknow Garden Tours in June, starting at 10:15 on June 6, 12, 20, and 26. For those interested in also taking professional level photos of the Lucknow Gardens, you can join Castle in the Clouds and ArtWorks for a Garden Photography Workshop on Saturday, June 20th from 9:30am to 1pm.
For those interested in bees and beekeeping, join Bewitched Acres for a Hive Dive on Saturday, June 13 from 10:30 am to noon or from 1pm to 2:30pm. Get up close and personal with the bees and learn from a local beekeeper! There is also a small-group Beekeeping Class for those interested in diving even deeper into learning about what it takes to work with bees. This will be held on Sunday, June 28 from 11am to 12:30 pm. Both programs are for a limited number of guests so be sure to register early.
Yoga on the Lawns of Lucknow returns for another season, weekly on Mondays, starting on June 29. Classes start at 6pm and are led by Pam Swanick from Yoga4Life. In inclement weather, the class will be moved to the Winnipesaukee Room.
On Sunday, June 28 from 1-3 pm there will be a watercolor workshop held in the Winnipesaukee Room with an experienced artist and instructor. Materials are included.
For those looking for more crafts, why not visit Castle in the Clouds on June 27 for their annual Community Arts Festival.
