If anyone needs us, we'll be busy conducting important crumble research. 🍎🥄☕

Our findings so far? Homemade apple crumble, made right here at Nunnington, is best enjoyed warm, with plenty of custard and a freshly brewed coffee.

Better still, it'll be available throughout the winter season, so there's plenty of time to stop by and see if you agree.

Join us in the tea room or tea garden between 11.30am and 3pm for homemade bakes, hearty lunches and seasonal treats after exploring the hall and gardens.

Otterly adorable! 🦦

Just as Otter Madness arrives at Nunnington Hall for half term, these playful locals have been spotted making the most of the river. Join us for family fun, autumn adventures and plenty of discoveries inspired by one of our most-loved river residents.

Who knows? You might even spot them yourself.

Special thanks to Gardener Nick for capturing this clip!

🦦 Otter Madness is underway at Nunnington Hall this half term!

If you're joining us, don't forget that roadworks on Nunnington bridge mean the usual route may not be the best way to reach us.

For the smoothest journey, pop "Nunnington Hall Car Park" into your sat nav rather than "Nunnington Hall". It's more likely to guide you correctly around the roadworks and into our car park.

Then it's time for otter-inspired adventures, autumn discoveries and a great family day out!

🍂 Important visitor update ahead of a windy weekend:

Due to forecast high winds, Nunnington Hall will be CLOSED on Sunday 25 October to help keep visitors, staff and volunteers safe.

Nunnington Hall will be open as normal on Saturday 24 October. Our Otter Madness half-term trail will also begin as planned, so families can still enjoy an autumn adventure around the garden.

We'll continue to monitor conditions closely, and our team will be on site first thing on Monday morning to carry out safety checks before confirming opening arrangements for the day.

If you're planning to visit on Saturday, please note that roadworks and diversions remain in place. Make sure to visit our website and check the yellow banner for the most up to date information.

🚧 A little detour, but we're still very much open!

If you're visiting Nunnington Hall over the coming weeks, you'll spot that the bridge at the usual car park entrance is closed for repairs. Access is still available via a diversion.

If you are approaching Nunnington from The Avenue:

➡️ Right at the war memorial
➡️ Left onto West Ness Road (becomes Riccal)
➡️ Left onto Muscoates Lane
➡️ Left at the junction of Hungerhill Lane and Riccal Moor Lane
📍Follow the road until you reach the car park entrance

Before setting off, you can also take a look at the Getting here section of our website for the latest directions.

Thanks for bearing with us while essential repairs take place!

Bee-hold: the next generation...

Thanks to this clear-sided bee box, we can get a sneak peek into the early life of a leafcutter bee. Each leafy chamber has been carefully crafted from pieces of leaf, cut and collected by a female bee to create a safe nursery for her eggs.

Inside each cell is a developing bee, complete with everything it needs to grow. Once the cells are full, they'll be carefully removed and looked after in the garden workshop over winter, where they'll continue developing in safety.

Next spring, the new generation of leafcutter bees will emerge, ready to take flight and help pollinate the gardens!

If you're out exploring, keep an eye out for leaves with neat circular cut-outs, the unmistakable calling card of a leafcutter bee.

We don't want to bug you...but we think this ladybird is pretty neat!

This is a seven-spot ladybird, one of the UK's most familiar native garden visitors.

A welcome sight from spring through to autumn, both adults and larvae feed on aphids, making them an important ally for gardeners. Their bright red wing cases and distinctive black spots aren't just for show, they're a warning to birds and other predators that they're not a tasty snack. If threatened, they can even release a yellow liquid with a strong smell to help deter would-be attackers.

As the weather cools, seven-spot ladybirds seek shelter in hollow plant stems, wood piles and garden sheds, where they'll spend the winter months hibernating.

Have you seen any of these in your garden? Which plants do you think they like best?
