Things to do when it rains
For the inevitable rainy days, there is plenty to see and do indoors at Nunnington Hall. This spring there's the 'From the Earth' exhibition, a wide-ranging exhibition celebrating everything our natural world has to offer and is the work of painters, potters, and creatives from East Riding Artists.
Elsewhere in the hall, children can dress up as evacuees and learn about the history of Nunnington Hall during World War Two. Then there's the impressive Oak Hall, the Carlisle Collection of miniature rooms and, of course, the quintessential tea-room in the old dining room offering table service.
The Lion's Den play area
Enter the Lions Den play area where little explorers can climb up, over, and wobble along a natural obstacle course. There are tree stump steps to jump across, a rope bridge to climb across as well as a wooden climbing frame to conquer. There's also a picnic bench for mums, dads, or grandparents to sit and have a rest whilst your little ones burn off some energy.
Bird watching and observation area
Come and see how we garden organically at Nunnington. We've got our compost beds up here so you can see how we break down our waste to reuse around the garden. Help us by feeding your food waste to the RolyPig. Wander along the path to our bird watching area - see if you can spot some of our resident feathered friends. Use the chalk board to write down and tell us what you've seen.
