Beatrix Potter's original artwork on display in a 17th-century house
Get up close to illustrations from your favourite tales in the new exhibition for this year, which explores why Beatrix Potter's tales remain so popular today.
The Beatrix Potter Gallery displays original items from our collection in this year's exhibition 'The Right Sort of Woman'. For anyone who has ever been enchanted by Beatrix’s endearing characters, the gallery is the place to go to marvel at these miniature masterpieces.
This unique space occupies a 17th-century building which served as the office of Beatrix's solicitor husband. For a perfect day out, why not follow in Beatrix Potter's footsteps to Hill Top, then spend time outdoors?
Hawkshead village is an excellent base for exploring the countryside that inspired Beatrix and many other artists, authors and poets.
