Burton Constable

Sunsets and Seasons

Dave Nassau has been part of Burton Constable’s daily life for over 30 years, painstakingly reinvigorating the beautiful landscaped parklands that Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown created almost 300 years ago.

One of the charitable foundation’s live-in staff, Dave has privileged access to Burton Constable long after the gates have closed and other staff and visitors have gone home. In this exhibition, the first of it’s kind, Dave gives our visitors a glimpse of the special moments that help bind him to the landscape that is both his home and his work – whose improvement he can proudly claim much credit for.

So join us this Easter to share in this view of Burton Constable at sunrise, sunset and all times between, tracing the changing of the seasons through the eyes of the man who knows our landscape best.

Entrance to the grounds starts at 10am.

The hall opens at 12noon.

Theatre Gallery: Annie Bourton Card “Water Trees & Imagination”

Annie Bourton Card moved to East Yorkshire in 1967 and now lives in Cottingham.  Although her career had nothing to do with art, she retained an interest in both art and the history of art throughout her adult life. 

Annie began to paint following her retirement almost 14 years ago and has enjoyed attending art classes locally since then.  She is an associate member of East Riding Artists and is currently chair of the Friends of Beverley Art Gallery.

Her preferred style has mostly been realistic, impressionist and post-impressionist but she has recently enjoyed painting imaginatively in the manner of “Mrs Matisse”.

Theatre Gallery – Janet Saxby “Retrospective”

Janet Saxby has no formal art training, yet she has been an enthusiastic amateur artist for many years. Her paintings include a variety of media and she has attended many workshops to experience a wide variety of different techniques and approaches to painting.

In particular, Janet likes to paint landscapes with big skies, often incorporating buildings. Seascapes are also her joy, where she endeavours to capture the play of light, which is challenging, but can create atmospheric and interesting paintings.

Currently, Janet is painting mainly in Acrylics, but she does also work in Oils, Pastel and Watercolour.

Janet is a member of Driffield Art Club, Hornsea Art Society and East Riding Artists.

Her exhibition comprises a selection of her paintings, incorporating different subjects and media.

The Fish!! Memories of Change

Five photographers have worked with people involved in the fishing industry during the 1970’s – trawlermen, dockworkers, family members, historians to tell the story of the impact of the decline of the industry in Hull during that decade.

In portraits and the words of those in them the story unfolds…..resilience, hard times, new horizons. The project has been sponsored by North Atlantic Fishing Company and Hull Maritime.
