About This Event

A theatre event titled Vanbrugh 300 featuring Sandy Nairne, Sir Charles Saumarez Smith, and Mark Newman at Seaton Delaval Hall in Newcastle on 1 October 2026. The session commences at 18:45 and is free to attend.

Introduced by historian, curator and Deputy Chair of the National Trust, Sandy Nairne, former Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Arts, Director of the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery, Sir Charles Saumarez Smith discusses Vanbrugh’s later career and his links to Seaton Delaval Hall, following the publication of his recent book, John Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture. National Trust Consultant Archaeologist Mark Newman shares how archaeological and historical research at Seaton Delaval Hall since the National Trust acquired it in 2009 has added to our understanding of the hall, the estate and Vanbrugh’s involvement in it.

This year‑long festival honours Vanbrugh’s life, legacy, and theatrical architectural vision. Vanbrugh 300 is presented by The Georgian Group, with support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
