AN historic country house and garden is reopening to the public for the new season this weekend. Sewerby Hall and Gardens, in Sewerby, Bridlington, reopens with it a number of new exhibitions in the venue’s galleries on Saturday.

One of the new exhibitions is entitled In Brave Company, which tells the story of the commissioning of the monument for the famous 158 Squadron, Bomber Command, which was based at Lissett.

In the Bride’s Room is a collection of new works by local artist, Kate Jordan, inspired by animals, dreams, ambiguous creatures from her imagination, people and moments from everyday life and a love of children’s literature.

The house is open daily, from 10am to 4.30pm, and although admission charges apply to the estate, there are no additional charges to see the house and the exhibitions.
