Sixty acres of historic gardens plus 500 acres of parkland and woodland to explore, including the Conservatory, Union Jack Garden, Lady Lucy's Walk and the Stainborough Castle folly. There is an adventure play area with a play fort, swings, zip wire and accessible seesaw, a Long Barn Café, second-hand bookshop, picnic area and monthly volunteer-led guided tours of the mansion house. Sensory trails and orienteering trails are available, along with family events such as the Summer of Play programme, drop-in crafts and football sessions.
No specific age range is stated, though the site is described as family-friendly with a kids' adventure playground; admission pricing distinguishes adults (18+), children (5–17) and free entry for under 5s.
The site publishes a visual story, sensory trails (WCG Sensory trails 2025) and a full AccessAble accessibility guide, plus an accessible route map with hard-standing paths in places, though other paths are firm/grassy, sloped and uneven with some steps and step-free alternatives. Facilities include accessible toilets, blue badge parking, a drop-off point, ramped access, a lift, seating throughout, induction loops at all tills and a portable loop, braille and large print guides, bookable BSL interpreters for tours, a buggy shuttle (11am–3pm daily), and free hire of two manual wheelchairs, two mobility scooters and an all-terrain tramper. Visitors can email or phone the team to discuss arrangements to meet their access needs.
