We visited on a gloriously sunny late June Saturday. A large, well maintained car park and then only a short walk to the cafe and entrance. We enjoyed a cake and coffee sitting outside in the lovely weather - plenty of tables and you could sit and admire the good quality plants for sale. The selection of cakes was small but the meals, particularly the sandwiches with salad looked mouthwatering. I did think the Gents toilets were too small. Admission is a very reasonable and good value £11 although free if you are an HHA member. The walled gardens were a joy to walk round, well thought out and colourful, especially the roses and I really liked the large size chess and drafts 'boards' areas. Plenty of seats to sit and take in the relaxing views. Certainly and just from casual observation, some of the walled gardens were wheelchair friendly as was the outside cafe (not saying the inside one wasn't) and a woodland walk that was signed so. The topiary in the grounds is immaculate and there are seats near the water feature to relax before taking a woodland walk. Returning to the Hall area there is a children's playground and the grounds generally do seem to be child and indeed dog friendly. I am not a great Hall person but these are definitely worth a visit. Helpful staff, not too big but nice, light rooms with a lived in feel which is no doubt because some rooms are used by the family and I can understand why. On the top floor there is for a country hall, a truly amazing selection of paintings including Renoir, Manet, Pissarro, Gaugin and Matisse. From a personal point of view it was worth the visit alone to see the Pissaro - 'A Woman shelling peas' We didn't see the ghost who has frequented the Hall in the past! On the way back to the car park, it is well worth spending c 15 minutes in the lovely church. Overall Burton Agnes is a really lovely place to visit both for the Gardens and the Hall. Can thoroughly recommend a visit there.

Your place to Worship, Enjoy, Explore, Belong. Hull Minster is, at one and the same time, an amazing building and a vibrant and diverse community of God's people. We love the fact that we can offer; worship from the traditional to contemporary, on Sundays and during the week; an amazing building to explore and enjoy for history and events, and an extended family where everyone is welcome to belong, whoever they are and no matter what they believe. Our cafe, Minster Kitchen, is open whenever the Minster is open so do pop down and enjoy a wonderful selection of homemade cakes, biscuits scones, savouries and soup. Tuesday-Saturday 10am-4pm, Sunday 8.30am-5pm Opening times are subject to some events. Please check our website www.hullminster.org/events to see what's happening at the Minster.
This exhibition is well worth a visit The Sistine Chapel in the Vatican in Rome is a truly wonderful place These amazing reproductions of the paintings allows us to look much closer at these amazing works I really enjoyed my visit and will be going again

This historic building represents over 500 years of Beverley's civic pride. Based on a medieval open hall building and substantially re-modelled in 1762 the stunning Georgian courtroom has a beautiful stucco plasterwork ceiling created by Giuseppe Cortese. The magistrates' room has a collection of 17th century oak furniture and the refined parlour, traditionally used to entertain civic dignitaries, now holds a collection of civic silver, the most significant of which are the 15th century ceremonial waits' chains. The Guildhall now also hosts the Beverley Community Museum where you can explore the history of the town through a collection of photographs and social history objects and the programme of temporary social history exhibitions that run throughout the year.
Would not have known that you could visit this wonderful building had it not been for the Tourist Information Office who were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable on what to see in Beverley. We were so very pleased they recommended it as it really was a great place to see. The guides there also were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and if they didn't know the answer to your question they went off and looked it up for you. The place itself has a wonderfully ornate ceiling in the court room and has been in many Film and TV production, the latest of which was 'Death Comes to Pemberley.' It's even good for the children as there are judges robes and wigs that they can dress up in and preside over the court. A really super place to visit.

Amazing structure, never knew it was where it was having lived in the area for 12 years, just happened to listen to regulars but this tower I believe is only pen once a year. I was so pleased to have had the experience to go up the tower, not for the feint hearted but well worth it. If you ever get the chance, take it to go up to the top, great veiws.
