We are delighted to be returning to the Barn Gallery at the beautiful Netherwood Estate in Herefordshire.

Our free exhibition will be offering a collection of original works by John Piper, Elisabeth Frink, Rowland Suddaby, Robert Tavener and their contemporaries, exploring how the British landscape was represented in mid-20th century art.

The exhibition will also host a special collection of fabrics designed by John Piper and a display of original mid-century ceramics from across Europe.

All exhibits are for sale.

 

The beautiful Netherwood Gardens will be open under the National Garden Scheme as follows:

A café will be available over each of these weekends.
