This winter, something special is happening at Belsay Hall. The Snowman™ has tip‑toed into the gardens – and he’s brought a host of cheerful friends with him.

Bundle up, bring your loved ones and set out on a heartwarming sculpture trail throughout the grounds. There are twelve giant Snowmen to discover with joyful designs created by different artists on the theme of The Twelve Days of Christmas. From partridges to pipers, every Snowman has its own little story to share.

Begin at the visitor centre to pick up your trail map, then wander together to see how many Snowmen you can spot. Keep your eyes peeled – each sculpture hides a secret letter. Collect all twelve and you’ll reveal a magical Christmas word.

It’s a lovely way to enjoy the festive season together. So pull on your hats and scarves and head out for a charming winter adventure, sprinkled with nostalgia from Raymond Briggs’ much‑loved classic.

Walking With The Snowman™ At Wrest Park

Audley End is celebrated for its magnificence: beautifully furnished rooms and fine objects, carefully arranged and presented for visitors. Yet above these showpiece interiors lies another, lesser-known world.

Running from May to November 2026, Behind Closed Doors is a new exhibition that offers a rare glimpse into the hidden second-floor rooms, long closed to the public. Once guest bedrooms and servants’ quarters, they now function as store rooms, revealing a quieter side of life within the house.

Through the photographs of Lachlan French and Clive Downes, these interiors evoke a faded splendour, carefully preserved as if a moment frozen in time.

In contrast to the rooms below, they offer a more subtle beauty, shaped by memory, atmosphere, and the traces of lives once lived behind closed doors.

This event is included with general admission. Book in advance to save 15%. Members go free.

Behind Closed Doors:

Join Yorkshire Blue Badge Guide Sarah Milne-Day on a tour of the iconic town of Whitby.

Starting at the spectacular Gothic ruined Abbey, we will head down the famous 199 steps into the picturesque town and harbour to discover all about the history, industry and characters hidden in the winding alleys that make this such a fascinating place. From Dracula to polar bears via Captain Cook and Alice in Wonderland, there are secrets to be discovered around every corner.

This tour is graded as challenging access, as it is a walking tour with steep terrain and few places to stop and sit down.

Bookings will open for this event on this page on Tuesday 13 October at 9am.

Members' Event:

English Heritage Members are invited to discover the remarkable story of Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings, an icon of the Industrial Revolution.

Join AJ in the beautiful grounds of Audley End House & Gardens, Saffron Walden, for authentic, inclusive yoga in a truly unique setting. This is a third-party event, independently hosted by AJ and taking place at Audley.

On dry days, classes take place on the lawns beneath the shade of magnificent oak trees. If the weather isn't on our side, we'll move indoors to the elegant Cipriani Room within the stately home, ensuring a welcoming space whatever the forecast.

Classes run at 11:00am and 12:00pm, with each session lasting 50 minutes.

Please enter through the main gate and let the team know you're attending yoga. Then make your way to the North Lobby, where AJ will meet you five minutes before the start of your class.

Bring a yoga mat, towel or blanket to practise on, along with any props that help you feel comfortable. Cushions, scarves and jumpers can all make excellent supports.

AJ's classes are rooted in traditional yogic teachings, creating a welcoming environment to explore movement, breath and mindfulness. Open to all levels, each session encourages you to connect with your body in a way that feels supportive, accessible and authentic.
