Planning your family visit

  • We welcome breastfeeding everywhere at Felbrigg, including in our tea-room and can provide hot water for making up bottles.
  • High chairs are available in the tea-room.
  • If you fancy a picnic, you’ll find benches in the meadow area in front of the stable courtyard. You’re also welcome to picnic on a blanket in the grounds.
  • There are plenty of buggy-friendly paths around the gardens and parkland. Don’t hesitate to ask a member of the welcome team for hints and tips.
