Suffolk Craft Society Summer Exhibition

Join us as we once again open up our West Wing Gallery to an innovative exhibition in partnership with the Suffolk Craft Society.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

This year, the exhibitors delve into the remarkable legacy of the Hervey family—an aristocratic lineage rooted in the Suffolk countryside yet reaching far beyond its borders. From their ancestral home at Ickworth to their storied travels across Europe and beyond, the Hervey family left an enduring mark not only on the places they visited but on the wider cultural landscape.

This exhibition invites visitors to explore the global influence of the Herveys and to discover how their time abroad continues to shape the character and experience of the Ickworth Estate today.
