The Morphy Richards Engineering Education Centre, Dumfries House estate, Cumnock, Ayrshire

The Morphy Richards Engineering Education Centre is used to deliver in-house STEM workshops for school groups and to connect young people with industry experts who can offer career advice. The ‘Harmony’ outdoor play park surrounding the engineering workshop presents a unique learning experience that helps reconnect children and visitors to the estate with the natural world and our built heritage. A theme which centres around the natural elements – Earth, Water, Air and Fire – is incorporated into a landscape design that uses high quality engineering and scientific enquiry play equipment. Visitors can explore the elements using sand, gravel and water in this multi-sensory facility set into the woodland surroundings. The park is free and open to school/youth groups and also public visitors to the Dumfries House Estate.
