Good morning and season’s greetings from a bright and extremely crisp Burton Agnes. I have loved decorating the house during the past fortnight, with my family and our fabulous colleagues, and now we’re about to open. Here’s the King’s Bedroom, where rings of mightily-scented star anise hang in two fallen sycamore branches with steel-toned glass baubles. Hundreds of little bunches of larkspur in various shades of blue and white, layered with sprigs of cornflower and painted sage, are pinned to the branches. I hope that you relish our ideas, and also hope to welcome you to our home.

👻🎃 Grinning carved pumpkins, a skeletons’ gym and a spooky magician’s levitating assistant are waiting to be discovered here this Halloween! 🧙💀

Our Halloween Trail is back, with a whole new cast of curious characters to discover in the ancient and decidedly creepy woodland this half term! Look out for skeletons keeping fit at the gym, a rather macabre tea party and a magician skeleton with his levitating assistant, among other wonderfully spooky scenes.

Armed with your bumper trail sheet, solve the questions at each stop and uncover some freaky historical facts along the way. Complete the trail to claim a sweet reward! 🍬 While you’re exploring, keep your eyes peeled for thirteen hand-carved and painted wooden pumpkins, each with its own mischievous grin, hiding among the trees. 🎃

The Halloween Trail runs from Saturday 24th October to Sunday 1st November. Gather your little ghouls and join us for a frightfully fun woodland adventure!

The west wall border is peacefully getting on with being magnificent: alliums, geraniums and euphorbia in soft blues, purples and acid greens, with a path that invites lingering.

Day one of the Gardeners’ Fair is a wrap, and what a very lovely day it has been.

If you couldn’t join us today, there’s still all the fun of the Fair to enjoy tomorrow: wonderful plants, inspiring stalls, garden treasures, charismatic alpacas, Karl taking on a second trunk with his chainsaw carving, and of course the gardens looking glorious in early summer.

Here are a few favourite snapshots from Gardeners’ Fairs gone by to celebrate one of our favourite weekends of the year.

Open 10am–5pm. Members visit free and don’t need to book.

🚗✨ Join us tomorrow (Sunday 10th May) at Burton Agnes Hall for our annual Vintage Rally! ✨🚙

Join us tomorrow, Saturday 10th May, from 11am–4pm for a wonderful celebration of motoring heritage. Hosted by the East Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club, the grounds will be filled with an extraordinary collection of vintage and classic vehicles: from elegant historic cars and motorcycles to light commercial vehicles and vintage machinery.

Whether you’re exhibiting a vehicle or simply coming along to admire the craftsmanship and character of the remarkable machines that are on show, it promises to be a brilliant day out for all ages. Here are some of my favourite photos from recent years’ rallies.

Set against the beautiful backdrop of Burton Agnes Hall, the rally also supports a very worthwhile cause, with £3 from every entry donated to Marie Curie.
