Mischief behind the scenes 

Explore Seaton Delaval Hall in our video on YouTube and find out why the Delaval family, who lived there in the 18th century, were known for playing pranks on their guests. You’ll also discover why the National Trust has chosen to use art installations to present the history and spirit of the house, rather than restoring Seaton Delaval Hall in the style of a typical country home.
