The Laskett Garden was created in celebration of the arts by Sir Roy Strong CH and his late wife Julia Trevelyan Oman CBE, who were at the centre of the arts for much of the latter part of the 20th century.
In 2021 Sir Roy generously gifted The Laskett to Perennial, the UK's only charity helping everybody who works in horticulture and their families.
The fabulous house and garden provide a great venue for showcasing local art. This year we are delighted to welcome four local artists who will be showcasing their work during h.Art week.
Artist in Residence and volunteer at The Laskett, Clair Hodgson, will showcase her watercolours and pen and ink drawings. She is joined this year by:
David England, long-term Perennial supporter and Fellow, who is an established sculptor and artist and will be displaying his paintings;
Jan Bruce, a self-employed sculptor based in Herefordshire since 2016, who will be exhibiting his stonework*; and
Jane Farrington, a mixed media artist exploring the magical world of theatre and performance to create her artwork.
All artwork on display is available for sale, please speak to the individual artist when you visit.
Please be advised the garden will only be partially open during this event.
*Jan is appearing on BBC1's Award-winning "Make It At Market" on 18th March, Series 3, episode 11.
