DECENNIUM at Hestercombe Gallery
New exhibition celebrating 10 years of Hestercombe Gallery.
Due to staff shortages in our catering team (congratulations to our Head Chef who has just gone on paternity leave), over the weekends of the 11th/12th and 18th/19th May we will be serving BBQ food only from outside our Stables Restaurant, as well as cakes, sandwiches and ice cream in our cafe. A limited menu will also be available from Monday to Friday over the next two weeks. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Hestercombe is an independent charity, so we value your support – please consider making a donation to help keep Hestercombe open.
We provide content online, so please follow our social media channels. You can also find us on Google Arts & Culture, watch our videos on Vimeo and explore our website.
Hestercombe Contemporary Art Gallery aims to present the best in contemporary arts practice whilst focusing on the relationship between art and landscape. We aim to be a place where art is not just shown but where artists and designers can explore, collaborate, research and respond to make new work through residencies and commissions.
Hestercombe has always had a place at the leading edge of creativity, from Coplestone Warre Bampfylde’s groundbreaking landscape garden design with its borrowed views, to Gertrude Jeykyll and Sir Edwin Lutyens’ collaboration that pushed the boundaries of garden design and planting in the formal gardens.
Based in the historic Hestercombe House, the Contemporary Art Gallery is open daily from 11am – 5pm, and entry is via our Visitor Reception. You must book gardens admission in order to visit the Gallery and outdoor exhibitions.
The Gallery is not yet wheelchair accessible; however for all of our exhibitions we display a documentary-style film on the ground floor.
