Early closure of the Tree Celebration exhibition

Due to urgent building works in the gallery, the Tree Celebration exhibition has closed early (as of Thursday 16 January). All other galleries and Lark Hill Place are open as usual.

Take a step back in time...

Take a walk along the cobbles and uncover the stories of the shops and houses with an atmospheric soundtrack to set the scene. Visitors can explore the street and dress up in traditional costumes to really get in the spirit of things!
