The wildlife photography days, which sold out fast in 2023, will run alongside the hugely popular Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition. This is on loan from the Natural History Museum and will return to Sewerby Hall this year with a new selection of photographs.

The full day experiences will include a private viewing of the exhibition led by Mr Race, who will talk participants through the stunning photographs.

    Mr Race, who is based in Scarborough, has been a keen naturalist and photographer for over 30 years. He has lived on the Yorkshire coast all of his life and believes there is no better place for variety of habitats and amazing wildlife.

    Mr Race said: "It’s great to see that the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Exhibition is coming back to Sewerby Hall and Gardens for a third consecutive year. After the fantastic success and attendances for our Wildlife Photographer Experiences last year, I am delighted to say that we will be delivering these events again in 2024 to run alongside the exhibition.

    “I am excited to have the opportunity again to run these events at Sewerby Hall and Gardens and RSPB Bempton Cliffs Nature Reserve and Iook forward to meeting new and past participants across the three events".
