Specially curated in partnership with Rheged, we were delighted to have Lost Spells, Lost Words: Beyond & Before in our Gallery, a magical exhibition celebrating the over 30 years of award-winning, internationally best-selling illustrator, wildlife artist and author Jackie Morris.

The exhibition set in three parts, visitors discovered not only Jackie’s life, career and early work but the original artwork and soundscapes of the award-winning ‘The Lost Words’ and ‘The Lost Spells’, which she created with Robert Macfarlane.

In partnership with Compton Verney and Northumberland National Park.
