Containing glimpses of the hidden world of the servant’s hall, with its own strict hierarchy and limited comforts, this exhibition reveals the day-to-day details of life for servants at the hall from the 18th and 19th Centuries. Discover what life would have been like for Antoine Reny, Lady Clifford Constable’s fashionable French Lady’s Maid from Paris, and for Susan Hoe, the first housemaid in 1866. The display reveals the difficulties of life ‘below stairs’, but also the status that some servants held in the household and how close some came to being counted as family.
Find out more about the huge numbers of staff required to run a hall the size of Burton Constable, and the varied jobs they performed. How would you have fared as a 19th Century housemaid? Giving a fresh insight into life behind the scenes at Burton Constable and with activities for the whole family, this exhibition is one not to miss.

A Mosaic Path
Curated by guest artist, Linda Ingham, this new exhibition is inspired by the ecological term: A Mosaic Path.
Rising from the rubble or waste aggregates in ‘brown field’ sites, the mosaic path is the proliferation of plants that are thriving in adverse conditions. This low fertile environment provides the potential for a diverse mosaic of planting which can be very beneficial for wildlife. There is enormous scope to promote this approach at all scales to create climate change for people and wildlife.
Close observation of storeys and stories of places conserved, disturbed, reimagined, string across Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire. The artists research and form a visual metaphorical path. The selected artists’ works are gathered within this exhibition to offer us an exploration of the land in this current climate crisis. A land that speaks of the present, past, and future.
A Mosaic Path is a short survey of landscape and place through the eyes of four artists considering such subjects today; Judith Tucker, Robert Moore and David Ainley.
This is my first solo exhibition showing off my journey in acrylic painting. The exhibition will be held at Brew, 76 Bond Street, Hull, HU3 1EN between 8th and 20th of July 2023.
I am an artist living in Hull. As an artist, I am drawn to the bold, vibrant colours of acrylic abstract painting. My artwork is a celebration of the energy and life that can be found in every brush stroke and every layer of paint.
I am inspired by the endless possibilities of colour and form, and by the ways in which these elements can interact and dance across the canvas.
My hope is that my paintings will inspire joy, curiosity, and a sense of wonder in those who view them during my exhibition
Opening night from 6pm until late on Saturday 8 July

This exhibition shows two works by the world-renowned Italian artist Canaletto.
From the Royal Collection and the Ferens’ own collection, these works show Venice’s Grand Canal in all its splendour. Created 10 years apart, when seen together they show the development of an artist’s technique and reveal much about Venetian life in the 1700s.
A newly commissioned work by the Ferens’ latest artist in residence will be shown alongside the paintings, connecting the past to the present through the theme of climate change. Canaletto’s A Regatta on the Grand Canal marks the fifth and final loan of exceptional works of art from the Royal Collection to go on display at Ferens Art Gallery as part of the Masterpieces in Focus from the Royal Collection series.
