Created as the ‘perfect house in the perfect setting’ Standing proud and strong, this fine Georgian mansion sits within ‘Capability’ Brown’s final garden and landscape. This year, the team at Berrington Hall are continuing to develop work on the Walled Garden and Pleasure Grounds Restoration Project. For this we have developed a programme that focuses on the gardens and invites our visitors to enjoy them in a number of different ways, from live music to trails for families. We have acres of parkland to explore and enjoy. In the house, discover jewel-like interiors, designed by Henry Holland and home to the Harley, Rodney and Cawley families. Or you could explore some of the extreme fashions of the eighteenth-century in the wig and bum shop and discover the hidden ‘below stairs’. In the gardens you can discover ‘LOOK! LOOK! LOOK!’ by internationally renowned artists, Heather and Ivan Morison. Inspired by Berrington’s Georgian origins and eighteenth-century culture, this 8-metre-tall by 8-metre-wide pink structure inhabits the walled garden; highlighting the importance of this piece of ‘living history’ as the final masterpiece of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. Created as the perfect house in the perfect setting, Berrington Hall has many secrets for visitors to uncover. […]

Canwood Gallery is a not-for-profit gallery set up with the goal of exhibiting thought provoking art within the beautiful and inspiring countryside of Herefordshire. Background In 1970’s Canwood Gallery owner, then a farmer, became critically ill with leukemia, and was sent down to Bart’s hospital in London, to take part in a medical trial as a last ditch attempt to try and save his life. In between some pretty severe treatments, including radiation and mustard gas amongst many others, he decided to venture out and took a black cab and asked where he could go to see something different. The driver took him to the Tate and refused to take any fee. Upon walking into the Tate the first thing he saw and found great inspiration in was the controversial Carl Andre’s bricks. It was the first of many visits. Whether it was the inspiration from art or the treatment, or both, he was the only person in his batch of 12 to survive to this day. It has always been his desire to give something back and to build a gallery in Herefordshire where people could experience interesting art for free. What makes this project even more phenomenal and unknown […]
