Exploring the Wild Side: Minibeast Safari at Harewood

Armed with butterfly nets, observation pots and field identification guides, participants set out across beautiful Sun Sides to spot, catch and study insects up close. From the delicate butterflies to beautiful beetles, each find offers a new insight into the miniature wildlife that helps keep our countryside thriving. Every creature is carefully released back into its habitat, ensuring the meadow’s residents remain undisturbed.

Tramper Hire at Harewood House

You can now hire a Tramper when visiting Harewood. This electric all-terrain mobility scooter can travel over rough ground, making more areas of the Gardens and Grounds accessible to more people.
A charcoal drawing of Miss Lambe, a young woman of mixed African and European heritage seated in profile, dressed in early 19th-century seaside walking attire. She wears an elaborate bonnet adorned with flowers and a long, patterned cloak drapes around her body. The figure holds a small book in her gloved hand, and the other is resting on her lap. Her facial expression is calm and introspective as she looks directly at the viewer, appearing as if she has just glanced up from the pages of her book. Detail has been concentrated in Miss Lambe’s face and hands, whilst the clothing is simplified and deliberately incomplete. Technical adjustments can be seen across the drawing which has been created on a collage of 20th century writing papers from Harewood House.
