Book TicketsJoin us for an intimate and entertaining evening with Dr Peter Ross, author of the recently published Insatiable Appetites: Eating Out in Georgian London, exploring the fascinating world of Georgian food, drink and excess.
Set within the cosy former home of J. M. W. Turner, we’ll step back into the Georgian era through Peter’s lively lecture, followed by an array of Georgian-themed drinks and treats to enjoy.
A special evening of history, art, conversation and indulgence — all in the atmospheric surroundings of Turner’s house.
This fascinating exhibition explores the history of J.M.W. Turner’s painting Margate(?), from the Sea (1835–40), and explains the complex legacy of his will and the large body of work known as the Turner Bequest.
A focused workshop inspired by a painting by Turner, featuring an illustrated introduction followed by a practical art session exploring themes, techniques, and ideas drawn from the work. Westminster Abbey, Bishop Islip’s Chapel, 1796
This lecture series will give the opportunity to dive deeper into the story of Turner’s bequest, his legacy today, and the relation with Margate.
Be first to hear about new exhibitions, events and talks.
