Hall Place - New exhibition opened, Beastly Hall

[fapl]

Just to let people know a new exhibition opened at Hall Place in Bexley, the exhibition is called Beastly Hall...

There is lots of crazy taxidermy and stuff, my 3 year old liked it, so did we and the parents in law, older kids and teenagers I expect would like it too, so it really is one for the whole family. They also have an Easter garden trail on during the school holidays (?2), we didn't do it though as we were only at Hall Place for a couple of hours and weren't interested in rushing.

?7 entry for adults into the house, but if you giftaid you can visit for 12 months, I am not sure what age kids start paying, maybe 16?

They are still talking on the ticket counter about all the people from Dulwich that went to their Fairytale exhibition after somebody wrote about it on the forum :-D

If you have under 12s and the weather picks up, if you make the trek over you can also stop at Danson Park where there is a fab playground and a small splash park. I have now planned a whole day out for you :-)

Excellent, thanks for posting. We loved the fairy tale exhibition and signed up for an annual membership which I think will still be valid :)

Just back from a thoroughly enjoyable few hours at Hall Place. Too damp to do much outdoors, but the ticket we got last year gave us free entry into the house. There's a fab interactive room on the ground floor which the kids loved and the beastly exhibition was really good. Nice lunch in the cafe, ?3.95 for kids pasta, lunch bags etc, and decent adult meals for ?9.95 including a glass of wine.

We had a potter about in the greenhouse on the way out, looking forward to some warmer weather so we can explore the gardens.

... and we were the only people in both the interactive room and the exhibition!

Same when we were there. Really sad as it deserves more visitors. And it is school holidays!

Sad, but nice, it made a pleasant contrast to our soft play visit the day before!
