Nature in Art

In addition to the programme of regular exhibit changes, temporary exhibitions, artists in residence and art courses, Nature in Art organises a busy programme of special events, some being held during the day, others in the evenings. All are open to the public but most need tickets to be booked in advance as numbers are limited.

We cannot guarantee that tickets will be available on the door.

Free lunchtime talks do not need to be booked in advance (unless you are a group)

and no tickets are issued. Just come along!
