Women Artists and Designers object trail

Embark on a brand-new trail in the House and gardens and pick up a copy of the book in the shop.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

This year, the National Trust is celebrating women artists and designers in a new publication. At Anglesey Abbey, we have created an object trail to commemorate these artists alongside other influential women at the property.

The object trail runs from Saturday 1 March to Sunday 1 June 2025. The trail starts in the Tapestry Hall in the House and continues into the Dining Room, Exhibition Room and the gardens as well. There will be signs to guide you to the statues in the gardens and you will also be able to follow the trail on our website, by scanning the QR code at the House.

Enjoy finding out more about the objects, books, paintings and sculptures on this trail while celebrating the women whose artwork or influence is part of Anglesey Abbey's story.

The book 'Women Artists and Designers at the National Trust' is available to purchase in the shop.

Please note that currently there is only step-free access to the Tapestry Hall, Dining Room and Domestic Wing while we wait for floorboards to be repaired. To find out more about accessibility at Anglesey Abbey please call us on 01223 810080.
