School Visits

School groups are very welcome at Burton Agnes Hall and there is plenty for children to see and do. We offer guided tours tailored to school groups, and the gardens enable a range of activities; the woodland walk holds fascination for children, with trees, plants and wildlife to spot; the walled garden has fruit, vegetables and exotic plants as well as giant board games and a maze! School children can run off steam in the woodland adventure playground, with its nine swings, huge tower with corkscrew slide, double zip wire and area for younger children.

Opening Times

The Hall is open daily from 1st April to 31st October and 14th November to 23rd December, from 11am to 5pm.

Admission Charges 2024

A special concessionary rate is made for Primary and Junior school groups to the Hall and Grounds of £2.50 per person (adults and children). This should be paid at the reception desk on arrival and cheques can be made payable to 'Burton Agnes Hall Preservation Trust'.

Guided tours of the Hall for groups are available at no extra cost. These take approximately 1 hour for school groups. If your party has more than 30 people, it may be divided into smaller groups.

Upon request, tours of the Kitchen Garden can be arranged with the Head Gardener. These last approximately 20 minutes.

Picnics

There are picnic tables in the grounds. School groups can also request  the use of a School Room. Ice creams can be purchased for school groups for £1.50 per person. Please email us to arrange this prior to your School visit.
