The day will include a range of activities, including story telling, chalk drawing on pavements and feeding the birds, which will take place at the historic house and gardens in Frankland Lane.
A spokesperson for the venue said: "Winds in the east, there’s a mist coming in, like something is brewing, about to begin, as the practically perfect nanny is coming back for another year at Crook Hall and Gardens.
"Our supercalifragilisticexpialidocious event is back this year for another jolly bank holiday with Mary and Bert.
"Join us here at Crook Hall and Gardens for themed games, stories read by Mary, chalk pavement drawing with Bert and don’t forget to save up a tuppence for some bird feed, so you can join in on feeding the birds too.
"Both our café and tearooms will be open, serving light lunches like sandwiches, pasties and soup, as well as our special themed homemade cakes and scones, which certainly has more than a spoonful of sugar in them."
No booking is required and regular entrance fees apply.
It is open between 10am and 4pm.
