► The National Trust - Seaton Delaval Hall

What: The National Trust is a charity which protects and opens to the public over 350 historic houses, gardens and ancient monuments. We also look afetr coastline and open spaces - for ever, for everyone. Seaton Delaval Hall is the newest property to be opened, after a huge public fundraising campaign. We are a testbed for engaging local communities and making the National Trust more relevant. It is still early days at Seaton Delaval Hall and we're very much work in progress, which makes now an exciting time to join us to help shape this historic family home.
