Step into a summer weekend of family fun at Sewerby Hall and Gardens, with live Seaside Safari sessions and more on offer to enjoy.
Deep Crew will once again be collaborating with Sewerby Hall to host their popular Ecology at the Beach sessions, with a focus on rockpooling at the Yorkshire coast.
On Friday 28th August, visitors attending Sewerby Hall will have the exciting opportunity to try their hand at beachcombing, creating unique marine artwork, identifying ecology on the Yorkshire coastline, and much more.
With support from Sewerby’s volunteers, Deep Crew will be offering a range of summer-themed hands-on activities in the Orangery from 11am to 3pm on both dates. This includes artefact handling, investigating rockpool species using ID sheets, and interactive rockpool games.
Running from 11:30am-12:30pm and 1:30pm-2:30pm, visitors can also participate in ‘Seaside Safari’ sessions. Those who come along will get the exciting opportunity to explore the rockpools down on the beach at Sewerby, learning more about some of the creatures that inhabit them. Suitable for all ages, these sessions dive into all there is to discover on the Yorkshire coastline.
