What's On

Join us for an Autumn Walk and Artisan Fair at Kelmarsh Hall and Gardens on Sunday 1st October 2023 – 11am-3pm.

There will be hot food stalls, and Sweet Peas Tearoom will be serving hot drinks to takeaway for your stroll around the gardens.

The historic gardens, woodland and lakeside walks will be open for you to enjoy.
We also have our wonderful fairy walk – see if you can find any of them hiding!

Genius Loci: Unexpected Histories of the Country House

Our understanding of the 21^st century country house tends to be one of a succession of histories and events. That expectation is supported by emphasis being placed on presentation of country house as a location for successive historical events, as well as a buoyant industry engaged in cultural myth-making through literature, film and television. In our series of autumn lectures at Kelmarsh Hall we contrast an example of the successful stage-setting of one country house in the twentieth century with the histories that may be discovered through one particular form of historical record, the inventory. We shall also consider the lives of those who enabled the country house to function behind the scenes and how they have become increasingly prominent in the public conscience.

Sessions:

05 October 2023, 2pm – 4pm

My Home is My Castle: The fashioning of Chillingham Castle, and other interior motives

Speaker: Dr. Conny Bailey

Tickets £8 per person, or £21 for a bundle of all 3 lectures.
Include lecture, tea, coffee, biscuits and garden entry (gardens open at 1pm-2pm)
