NOVEMBER 2025

until 22 February: Heath Robinson Museum: Sublime Space. This exhibition places William Heath Robinson alongside 10 contemporary artists, David Inshaw, William Scott, Ray Richardson, Jemma Powell, Jonathan McCree, Sue Arrowsmith, Daniel Sturgis, Peter Coyte, Ralph Steadman, and Barnaby Barford to explore our relationship with nature and landscape as a space for creative reflection.  Whether physically walking in, observing, or imagining the landscape, ideas of the sublime continue to inspire. In his autobiography My Line of Life, Heath Robinson recalls his many extensive, contemplative walks, (often solo, or in a group affectionately known as the Froth Finders), using the openness and expanse of landscape to unfetter his thoughts, and provoke inspiration for his drawings and paintings. He wrote, “I had a love for the life of landscape painter….to live in the open and commune with nature”, this passion prevailed throughout his career, even though his landscape art is rarely seen. In the context of this exhibition, however, we can see this dialogue between art, nature, and space remains central, and critical to artists today, not only as aesthetic experiences, but also as a creative aperture offering freedom to explore wider emotional,  intellectual, and socio-political concerns despite our increasingly saturated digital age. By juxtaposing these artists Sublime Space invites us to consider how ideas of nature, space, and the sublime continue to evolve — and how art helps us connect to the world around us in both timeless and timely ways.The Museum is open 1am-4pm, Thursday-Sunday. Tickets – adults, £6; over 65s, £5; student (25+ /people with disabilities), £4; child (18 and under), free; student (24 and under), free.
