Martin’s work is heavily inspired by nature, with most of his oil paintings created entirely outdoors on-site to capture the real textures and light of the landscape. The exhibition is only running until next Saturday, 6th June, so make sure to stop by the museum gallery this week.

Tickets £10 available from info@ancientmesopotamiagifts.com

Looking for the perfect weekend plan? On Saturday, 6th June, entry to both the museum and our hidden medieval walled garden is completely FREE for our Garden Open Day & Plant Sale!
Normally a paid entry, this is your chance to explore our indoor galleries, wander the garden, and pick up some new plants. Join us from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm for plants, refreshments, and history. Admission is free, but donations are warmly welcomed.

The title of the exhibition ‘Where the Wild Thyme blows’ is taken from the Shakespearean play ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream.’ Through their different mediums that range between print, collage, weaving, digital drawing and stitch, the artists in this group show have responded to this title and also the more general theme of our connection to plants and the natural world.

As with the dream space of Midsummer the liminal space of art is neither reality nor pure illusion. It is a transitional space, a threshold between one state and another. Reflecting on the themes within the play of magic, illusion and transformation the exhibition invites the viewer to enter this space and to perhaps return home, slightly changed.

Free drop-in workshops designed around these themes will also be held in the exhibition space on Saturday the 13th of June. These are open to all ages. For more information please contact thearaeuk@yahoo.co.uk.

Free Entry to Exhibition only

Who remembers the 1982 Falklands War? A generation has been born since then, but for many it is still recent. The conflict began on 2nd April 1982 when Argentina invaded and occupied the Falkland Islands and the island of South Georgia. On the 5th of April Britain sent a naval task force to reclaim the islands. The conflict lasted 74 days ending with an Argentine surrender on 14th June.
Wells has a particular connection with the islands as for many years it was the home of the Falkland Island Agency shop in Tucker Street. To commemorate the conflict the museum will be displaying an album of newspaper cuttings collected during the war. Come along and see what was being written at the time.

Admission free to view the album – donations welcome
