I think I may be able to help.
Clumber Park is a massive park and the best thing is to look at a what's on guide either when you get there or on the internet beforehand. There's a church, a big lake, a cafe and not forgetting miles of unspoilt forest and picturesque landscapes! (It's been a year or two since I last went so things may have altered) They often have live music on there but you'd need to check this out and see if there's anything on around the time when you go. When I lived at nearby Ollerton I used to take the dog for a walk up there regularly.
There's a small shop at the village of Carburton (follow the signs in the park which direct you to the village) which is on a staggered crossroad. I've never been in so don't know what they sell but Worksop is a 10 min drive (if that) and you've got all the shops and alehouses you need there!
I'm not sure whether Clumber has a bar or not - I don't recall ever seeing one there - but the nearest I can think of is the Clumber Park Hotel on the main A614 road (again follow the signs in the park directing you to A614) that does food, ale and weddings! I haven't been in there for a while but it was good, if a little pricey. There are pub restaurants down the road in Ollerton (Hop Pole & Snooty Fox) again serving good food at reasonable prices.
Pubs and Clubs are in either Worksop or Retford which are a short distance away. You've got Sherwood Forest visitor centre 15 mins down the road at Edwinstowe and Rufford Country Park 20 mins down the A614 all with adequate facilities for the family!
Hope this helps a bit!
