Newby Hall & Gardens offers a great family day out with a wide range of attractions to keep everyone entertained. The Hall is home to 25 acres of award-winning gardens including the excellent children’s Adventure Garden.

Newby Hall

Designed by Christopher Wren, Newby Hall was built between 1691-1695. The Hall is home to some of Britain’s finest Robert Adam interiors. Peter Aram was commissioned as head gardener to lay out formal gardens and avenues in keeping with the period. Very little of Aram’s layout for Newby remains today, with the Lime Avenue to the far west being the only area of this elaborate design remaining within the garden.

Welcome to the home of the Compton family

Newby Hall is home to a wonderful collection of Chippendale furniture, Gobelins tapestries and classical statuary. With 25 acres of award-winning gardens on offer featuring an enchanting woodland walk, miniature railway, dolls house exhibition and the Bear House, there is plenty to entertain all members of the family.

The Adventure Gardens

Newby Halls’s exciting Adventure Garden has been thoughtfully and safely designed for children of all ages. You’ll hear the sound of children’s joyful laughter ringing out as they swing, play, ride and splash.

There is a wide selection of children’s attractions in the Adventure Gardens ranging from swings for toddlers to climbing frames, bridges and zip wires. The pedal boats and miniature railway will appeal to older children.

If you visit on a warm summer’s day then your children will love the ‘Tarantella’ dancing water play area.
