There are also weekly active sessions designed for children with special educational needs.

Seaton Delaval Hall, Seaton Sluice, Northumberland

Like a party from its Georgian heyday, expect the unexpected with pop up performances indoors and out at Seaton Delaval Hall this summer. Join drop-in circus activities, play sports, get musical with the recycled junk orchestra, or rummage for the perfect props and perform on the Baroque-inspired stage. Every Friday in the Community Kitchen Garden, there’s the chance to plant, harvest and get crafty with nature.
