Fun for Families in 2023

We’re delighted to announce a whole year of fun for your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews (which we suspect the grown ups will enjoy too)! From drop-in activities to school holiday events to new regular clubs, there’s something new to enjoy every month at Harewood.

Full event details will be announced throughout the year.

Art Club
Every month

MARCH

Reframing Reynolds
A brand new exhibition on the State Floor from Fri 17 Mar

Marking 300 years since the birth of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Harewood will showcase its celebrated collection of family portraits by the artist in an exciting new exhibition. A special children’s guide will help kids learn all about this famous painter, inspiring them to think about how grand portraits reflected on the sitter and 18th century society.
