From Isolation to Creation: Artists Respond to a Changing World – Creative expression by artists and craftspeople is called for now more than ever, not only as well-needed beauty for the eye, but also comfort and inspiration for the heart and mind during troubling times. Throughout history it is the art and crafts of a culture that have not only reflected the time but also reflected upon the time, creating a record for future generations. In this exhibition, members of Herefordshire Art and Craft Society (HACS) give their response to a rapidly changing world through multimedia pieces including painting, photography, film and audio, sculpture as well as text.

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE The Mansion at Berrington Hall will be open from 14 September for entry to the exhibition by pre booking only. follow updates and booking information on the website nationaltrust.org.uk/berrington-hall Oliver Jones – contemporary art at Berrington Hall 14 March – 10 May 2020 Meadow Arts presents a new exhibition in partnership with National Trust. Artist Oliver Jones invites us to look at our own times in an impressive series of large-scale pastel drawings. Sometimes shocking, often melancholy or humorous, these extraordinary works take their place on the ground floor of Berrington Hall. Like a sudden invasion of hyper-reality, Jones’ pseudo-portraits (cropped to resemble social media formats) jar and stand out, but they also seem strangely at home in the beautiful Georgian rooms. Touching on issues of self-obsession and self-esteem, the series illustrates a contemporary quest for beauty and perfection that takes in plastic surgery, skin treatments and body modification. Perfection and beauty are themes that occupy our modern lives, particularly on social media, but they were also concerns of Berrington’s original designers and occupants. We may have found new ways of communicating our ideals of the perfect life, the perfect landscape and ideal beauty, but the intentions are […]

These courses will be held around Linton; a lovely small village with plenty of fields, hedgerows and some wooded areas providing a variety of tasty wild edibles throughout the year. St Mary’s is a beautiful 13th Century church whose churchyard is home to one of the oldest Yew trees in Britain, believed to be well over 1,000 years old. Located on the outskirts of Ross-on-Wye, these courses are within easy reach of Monmouth, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Chepstow and Bristol. We will meet at the Alma Inn, a beautiful village pub in the Herefordshire countryside. The course starts there with a short introduction on what to look for, our foraging code and a brief of the Countryside Act where it relates to foraging. Drinks are available from the pub. Then we’ll set off on a roughly 2.5 hour walk around the village, teaching you how to identify the different plants, flowers, fruits and mushrooms that we find. We will stop along the way for some seasonal homemade refreshments such as our lovely hogweed and wild garlic soup, elderflower champagne or fruit leathers. Then it’s back to the Alma for a tasty wild food lunch based on what we have found. All of […]
