The garden is open daily for the local school holidays, 11 - 19 February, 10am - 3.30pm. Pick up the free tree trail - part of Comings and Goings. Mildred and George used to live on the estate and will lead you on your adventure. Discover stories from the past, people who once called Beningbrough home and things to do along the way. Will yours be the fastest racehorse and can you build Beningbrough?

The wilderness play area is popular with children of all ages, from building dens, climbing on the clamber stack or swinging from heights. With horses and a Wendy house, there's plenty to let the imagination of the youngest visitors run wild.

The gardens are the perfect spot to tick off some of the National Trust playlist: 50 things to do before you're 11 3/4. We'll point you in the right direction for your adventures as you wander. Look out for the snowdrops opening along the ha-ha walk, before heading to the restaurant for a hot lunch or chocolate to warm up with.

Free entry for National Trust members, RHS members and under fives.
