Enjoy a fabulous visit to East Yorkshire's best historic day out!
Burton Constable Hall, just 10 miles from Beverley and Hull, is one of Yorkshire’s most spectacular historic country houses, and one of its best kept secrets: a real treat for group visitors!
There’s so much to enjoy and discover within and around this imposing Elizabethan mansion, with over 30 rooms crammed with fine arts, furniture, and many surprises from over 500 years of family histories; plus over 300 acres of historic grounds to explore, with woodland and parkland walks and trails for all the family.
With dedicated free parking for coaches, and a newly restored Stable Block, Tea Room and Gift Shop to enjoy, Burton Constable is a great place for groups at any time.
