Find out about exhibitions at Hidcote, showcasing work by a range of artists, local and international inspired by Hidcote.

Artemisia Art Group

From 5 to 25 October 2024

Artemisia is an established group of eleven artists who have been variously painting together for many years. This exciting new exhibition at Hidcote is representative of the group’s differing techniques.

Visiting through the seasons, and observing all that Hidcote has to offer, they have put together a collection of works that have taken inspiration from the house and gardens. Recognisable aspects sit alongside imaginative expressions and characterful interpretations in varying mediums.

This exhibition will take place in the Entrance Hall of the house, and you will be able to meet artists from Artemisia and purchase artworks that are on display.

Coming soon...

Janet Haigh

5 April - 10 August 2025

In spring 2025, Hidcote will welcome embroidery artist Janet Haigh to the Manor House.

Janet’s work is inspired by gardens and flowers. Hidcote was one of the first gardens she visited in her early career as an embroidery designer and maker, and it changed her work forever.

Her major body of work The Flora depicts a personal overview of the history of flowers, while more recent collections include Flowers for Our Times, which illustrates the arcane symbolism and messaging that can be conveyed in a simple bunch of blooms.

Revisiting Hidcote after the pandemic inspired Janet to create a series of hand- stitched and ornamented giclee prints, or ‘Dressed Prints’ based on the garden’s handsome topiary birds.

Several of Janet’s works will be for sale after the exhibition.
