Additional information

We will be exhibiting a local Artist - Kev Oldham Kev Oldham tells us that this body of work has been created over the last 3 years. "I find inspiration from the things I see around me, from atmospheric seascapes to sunlit buildings, to create a “frozen moment in time”. I look at the normalcy of everyday places, finding beauty and meaning in the mundane and highlighting intricate details and textures often overlooked." We will also be displaying some work from local students about the History of Northumberland Hall and the current museum.
