British Landscapes: A Sense of Place
Until 1st November 2026
British Landscapes: A Sense of Place at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester, is a landmark exhibition celebrating Britain's rich tradition of depicting the nation's landscapes in paint. Through the work of over sixty artists spanning two centuries, space is presented as more than a physical setting: it is shaped by memory, identity and human experience. From J.M.W. Turner to Barbara Hepworth, and from untouched countryside to industrial estates, it reveals how artists use place to express emotion, history, and belonging, encouraging viewers to see landscape as something that is continually lived in and reimagined.
When: From 30th May until 1st November 2026
Where: Pallant House Gallery, Chichester
Tickets: From £7.50. Visit Pallant House's website to book your tickets.
Bloomsbury in Wiltshire
Until 27th September 2026
Bloomsbury in Wiltshire at Salisbury Museum offers an intimate exploration of the Bloomsbury Group's often-overlooked years in Wiltshire. At the heart of this period was Ham Spray House, home to Lytton Strachey, Dora Carrington, and Ralph and Frances Partridge from 1924 until 1960, which became a vibrant centre of Bloomsbury life and creativity.
The exhibition takes Ham Spray as its focal point, bringing together paintings and sculptures created by the artists who lived there, alongside portraits of one another and of fellow members of the Bloomsbury Group. Included is a bust of Julia Strachey by Stephen Tomlin on loan from Philip Mould & Company. It was sculpted shortly after their marriage while the couple were living at Mill Cottage near Ham Spray.
When: From 23rd May until 27th September 2026
Where: Salisbury Museum
Tickets: Booking is not required. Visit the Salisbury Museum's website to find out more.
James McNeill Whistler
Until 27th September 2026
This summer, Tate Britain is holding the first major Whistler exhibition in 30 years. This rich retrospective brings together the breadth of Whistler’s work and his radical artistic ideas, which sparked fiery clashes throughout his career. A key work in the exhibition is Whistler’s controversial Nocturne in Black and Gold: The Falling Rocket (1877), which was central to his famous court case with critic John Ruskin. Whistler’s modern fusion of music and painting sits at the heart of the exhibition, alongside his deep affection for London, a recurring presence in his visual ‘symphonies.’
When: From 21st May until 27th September 2026
Where: Tate Britain, London
Tickets: From £22. Visit the Tate's website to book your tickets.
