Introduction for school trips and educational visits. Sewerby Hall is situated 2 miles north of the seaside resort of Bridlington, on the East Yorkshire coast. The grade I listed country house is set in 50 acres of landscaped gardens in a cliff top location on the outskirts of Sewerby village. A firm favorite with school-trip organizers, we accommodate over 200 school visits every year. Why is this venue great for School Trips and Educational Visits? Enjoy the fascinating history of the Hall, the fun-filled children’s zoo, the award winning picnic areas and the exciting kiddies play area. Don’t forget to stroll through the enchanting gardens and grounds followed by a round on the putting green. Two hundred yards from the cliff edge – a ten minute walk to the beach and rock pools. What does a typical school trip or educational visit include? We allow our school visits free roam of the Estate and Hall. Our zoo has learning packs available for teachers with an educational pack for the Hall available in 2010. Key stages 1-3. Also new in 2010 is our Orienteering course a fun way of exploring all corners of the Estate. What size groups do they cater for? Any size, although all school visits must first fill in and send a completed booking form available to download from our website. Tours and talks are available if staff are on-site at the time. Visits are normally on a first-come, first-served basis as our car park can accept limited numbers of coaches. It is normally best to call or email first to check availability.
