Winter can be a really beautiful season here at Sewerby Hall. It’s quiet, it’s still and, if you look hard enough, there’s little glimpses of something special all around. Come along and see for yourself and remember, you can warm up with a hot drink and a scone in the café.

Following a major renovation of its historic interiors, Castle Howard’s 21st Century Renaissance will open to the public in April 2025. castlehoward.co.uk/DB/latest-news… 📷 Tom Arber Image description: Two people carry a wooden cabinet down a staircase.
