Enjoy newly opened exhibitions including Louise Lockhart: Cake Crumbs and Lemonade, capturing the charm of British leisure and daily life, plus LR Vandy: Rise which sees the Weston Gallery transformed by a central soaring rope maypole. Don't miss your last chance to see the hugely popular immersive installation Marshmallow Laser Feast: Of the Oak in the Chapel and William Kentridge: The Pull of Gravity in the Underground Gallery.

Book a table to enjoy a locally-sourced breakfast at The Weston Restaurant, or pop in to the Kitchen Café for ready-to-eat hot and cold lunches, cakes and snacks during your visit. Make sure to visit one of our shops for a curated range of gifts, limited-edition artworks, homeware, ceramics, jewellery, books and more. 

There's also lots for little ones to get stuck into, from our natural play space Little Wild Wood, to The Studio in the Underground Gallery where Activity Baskets are available for families to get creative together.
