Heath Robinson: Dreams and Machines runs from 20 January – 15 April 2018, 11am-4pm (5pm from 5 February). Normal property admission price only. For visitors unable to access the second floor gallery, we have digital versions of exhibitions on iPads which are available on lower levels.
Please note that our car park and some areas of the grounds are very wet and muddy at the moment due to recent weather conditions. Wellies or stout footwear are advised when you visit.
From cartoons to illustrations
Our exhibition features over 60 original pieces covering the extraordinary breadth of his work, from witty cartoons to dream-like watercolour landscapes and illustrations, including scenes from Shakespeare.
We've collaborated with the Heath Robinson Trust to create this show, with works on loan from the Heath Robinson Museum.
Trained at the Royal Academy School, Heath Robinson’s ambition was to become a landscape painter. However, in order to establish himself financially, the artist turned to book illustration, and, later, comical drawings for magazines, which proved extremely popular and gained him acclaim.
