February half term
Embrace the Northumbrian weather this February half term! Pull on your warmest wellies and waterproofs and enjoy family fun mixing fresh air, outdoor adventure and indoor calm.
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
This half term, enjoy a brilliant blend of outdoor adventure and indoor comfort at the hall. Don your warmest waterproofs as you explore the gardens and green spaces, perfect for little legs to run around through the wintery weather. Indoors, step into the warmth of the West Wing kitchen stage, where the dressing‑up box invites young performers to put on a show to the soundtrack of today’s pop hits with a classical twist. When it’s time to slow down, settle into the cosy reading corner in the Gilt Parlour - a snug spot filled with cushions and colourful books, ideal for calming moments and story‑time escapes. It’s a wonderfully weather‑proof family day out, whatever Northumberland throws at you.
