There’s still all the usual fun to explore at Beninbrough Hall, Gallery and Gardens.

Wheel along paths on one of Beningbrough’s trikes or bikes to building a den or escaping to the wilderness play area.

Grab one of the new explorer back-packs from the hall – these come with all the kit you might need for a themed adventure like hunting for bugs or going birdwatching.

From noon each day explore the house and its amazing art from the National Portrait Gallery – including a striking picture of David Beckham.
