Caption
This week (23rd-31st May) we will be launching our new Musical box an exciting new sound and light play installation in the labyrinth. To celebrate the launch we are taking a look at some of our “Sounds of Cragside” within the collection here at the house. The young, sharp eyed members of the family can take a children’s trail around the house to spot interesting, and sometimes noisy, objects in the house. If you would like to learn more about events associated with the “Sounds of Cragside” Week, please see the events listings on our website.
