Important message for this weekend: All visitors must prebook

The Gift Fair is taking place this weekend from Fri 5 – Sun 7 Dec.

  • To manage capacity, all visitors, including members and those who are not coming to the fair itself, are required to prebook

  • If you would like to visit The Gift Fair (visitors and members) tickets can be booked here, including gallery upgrades to see the exhibitions and grounds as well as the fair (members do not need to purchase upgrade)

  • If you are just wishing to visit the grounds and exhibitions please buy general admission tickets

Whilst the fair is on, our ground floor galleries, which includes our Naples, Northern European, Portraits and Miniatures, and The Women’s Library, as well as the Modern Masterpieces display, will be open for the fair only.
The Shelter of Stories, Commodities, Chinese and Folk Art collections, and the parkland are still available to visit.

We recommend car sharing where possible to help with the capacity of the car park.

The image depicts a bride in a flowing white dress dancing with a groom in front of a large framed painting in an art gallery. The painting behind her appears to be a dramatic, baroque-style work featuring multiple figures in dynamic poses, possibly depicting a scene from classical mythology or religious narrative. The ornate frame and the woman's graceful movement create an intriguing juxtaposition of the static artwork and the living, dynamic presence in the foreground.
