Seaton Delaval Hall is a great English Baroque villa designed by Sir John Vanbrugh for Admiral George Delaval and built between 1719 and 1732, with formal gardens and colourful borders.
Having survived fires, military occupation and potential ruin, it was saved by the National Trust in 2009 to provide a space for arts, heritage and the community to come together. Refurbishment is still ongoing, but there is a fine selection of furnished rooms in the west wing and a collection that includes portraits, ceramics and furniture.
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.
