Nunnington Hall hosts a programming of changing exhibitions throughout the year. Recently we have welcomed established artists, photographers, illustrators and sculptors alongside new artists and community groups to display their work in the gallery. Discover what's on now and plan ahead for future exhibitions later in the year.
The spectacular British Wildlife Photography Awards showcases the best in British wildlife photography and celebrates the diversity of British wildlife and wild spaces through a collection of inspirational photographs and films. The exhibition also aims to raise awareness about British biodiversity, species and habitats.
Normal admission prices apply, with free entry to National Trust members and under fives. Entry to the exhibition is included in admission.
The Community Gallery is a space created to support local makers and artists, and for their work to be enjoyed by all. Drop by every six weeks to see a changing selection of artists, and for the chance to discover your next favourite piece.
If art is your hobby and your passion, you’re welcome to apply to exhibit in this space. Whether you have previous experience selling your artwork, or none at all, everybody is considered. Simply email nunningtonhall@nationaltrust.org.uk with your details.
The gallery is on the top floor at Nunnington, alongside the main seasonal exhibition.

John Warburton lives and paints in the Vale of York and the Yorkshire Dales, creating both landscape and figurative works. John is inspired by the Dutch Baroque painters and the Impressionists, and attempts to describe figures in interesting places in our busy daily lives.
Sinead Barker
Sinead Barker’s work is a collection of textile art celebrating animals, chosen for their unique characteristics and the connection she feels to them. A combination of beautiful fabrics and machine stitching creates a colourful interpretation of the animals she admires.
David Edwards
As a teenager, David was encouraged to draw and paint by his father, a professional artist. He likes to sketch or paint outdoors whenever possible to keep his paintings fresh and responsive to the changing mood of the landscape. His favourite medium for painting is oils because of their richness of colour.
