Set in fifty acres of stunning parkland, this historic country house and estate has a great deal to offer to visitors of all ages. With breathtaking views of the East Yorkshire coast, the house and gardens have something for everyone whatever the season.

The House

Sewerby Hall is a grade one listed building constructed throughout 1714 to 1720 by the Greame family. Between 1808 and 1856 numerous additions were made to the house including the portico, stable block, gatehouse, balustrade and conservatory (now the Orangery). It is a very fine example of an early Georgian house with 19th century additions. In September 2013 the house closed to visitors for the start of the refurbishment project which would see it restored to how it would have looked in 1910; the house is now open in all its splendour following this refurbishment.

The Gardens

Sewerby Hall has over 50 acres of award-winning (Yorkshire in Bloom Gold: 2008-11) landscaped gardens containing numerous woodland walks, comfortable benches, a huge variety of wildlife and secluded sun-traps as well as the Marie Curie Daffodil Trail throughout spring.

The elegant symmetry of the formal gardens and the magnificent Monkey Puzzle trees, reputed to be amongst the oldest in England, are a must-see.

Each garden offers its own variety of sights, smells and sounds throughout each of the four seasons.

The Zoo

Be introduced to an exciting world of mammals and birds at Sewerby Zoo. Come and meet a wealth of domestic and wild animals from various countries such as pygmy goats from Africa and llamas from South America.

Our newest additions, four ring-tailed lemurs can often be found sunbathing in their fabulous new enclosure.

Firm favourites are our Humboldt penguins who are fed every day at 3pm.

Shops and Cafe

The courtyard is home to the Clock Tower Cafe, the Stables Gift Shop, the Welcome Centre and Beeford Bee Products.
