This Elizabethan manor hall is furnished as a family home of the 1690s, portraying life in a busy household of the time.
Charlotte Brontë was so inspired by Oakwell Hall that she featured it as Fieldhead in her classic novel Shirley. The glorious period gardens have been painstakingly restored and are well worth a visit, along with over 100 acres of Green Flag award-winning country park which includes a visitor centre, gift shop, café, nature trail, picnic sites, play area and countryside centre.
Look out for The Wild Escape at museums and galleries in the next few months. Many have special events, or you can use our audio introduction to help children get involved at any cultural venue.
Visiting with children?
Use our audio introduction to inspire a visit to any museum, gallery or historic house local to you. Then, just send us your child’s animal artwork when it's finished and we'll add it to the epic collective artwork that launches on Earth Day 2023.
The more you see, the more we do.
The National Art Pass lets you enjoy free entry to hundreds of museums, galleries and historic places across the UK, while raising money to support them.
