Enjoy a free tour of our major 'Pride and Joy' exhibition and explore the most extensive display of Beryl Cook's work to date with more than 80 works, from iconic paintings to rarely seen treasures from private collections and the Cook family archive. Then have fun at our 'Pet Portrait' workshop. Cook loved animals..... Stout dogs and 'chonky' cats litter her work and often steal the scene. This fun session, led by student artist Fatima Al Duhaimi, will take you through the basics of creating your own Beryl-style portrait using acrylic paints and collage. You can bring along a photo of your own pet or paint one of ours! Both the tour and workshop are suitable for beginners.

Free but advance booking is required.
