Heritage Open Day: Minibeast Metropolis

From green roofs to compost heaps, wildlife ponds to dead hedges, join us on a tour of the Hollybush garden to learn about the places minibeasts call home and what we can do to help them feel welcome. 

We’ll have lots of family friendly activities to join in with on the day; unleash your inner architect and design your own wildlife garden, build a bug-hotel from recycled materials, and plant pollinator friendly plants for the spring. If you would like to, you can even come dressed as your favourite minibeast!

To Improvise A Mountain: Lynette Yiadom-Boakye Curates

Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, one of the most important figurative painters today, selects an exhibition of works critical to her way of seeing and thinking, inviting audiences on a personal journey through art past and present.

First coming to prominence in the early 2010s, Yiadom-Boakye is both an artist and a writer who is renowned for her oil paintings of imagined subjects. Assertive presences who yet seem to exist outside of any definable time or place, her figures are hailed for both their technical mastery and lingering, enigmatic quality.
