Newby presents endless opportunities for an inspirational educational visit.
The ancient sculptures in the Statue Gallery and the modern sculptures on the
Contemporary Sculpture Trail (from 1st June) give wonderful scope for discovering
the arts. The woodland walk and gardens provide a wealth of material, while the
house itself is a very special environment in which to explore form, colour, design
and mathematical proportion as well as architecture and social history.
Newby's wonderful adventure playground is a fantastic place to let off steam
with an amazing variety of experiences including the miniture railway.

School Events
June, July & September -'Discover Sculptures'
Self led Activity where children have the opportunity to explore and discover the fascinating
forms and shapes of sculpture!
Self led activity where you can take the children around the Contemporary Sculpture
Park and look at the forms and variety of sculpture, and then let the children
design a sculpture of their own! Activity Sheets Available upon request from April/May.
Sculpture is presented in an ever changing setting where students may touch,
feel and explore works of art, using their senses, imagination and intellect.
'Discover Sculptures' gives children an opportunity to respond to, and to think
about, sculpture in relation to designed landscape. Newby Hall is ideal for teaching
and learning about sculpture and a wide range of subjects at all key stages of
the National Curriculum and beyond.
