Meet Craig and Francis.

Here are three facts.

1. They visited the exhibition and had a great day leading workshops, signing books, and exploring the hall and gardens.
2. They found cake.
3. There are only three weeks left to visit Fixing Fairytales with Gina Kaminski at Nunnington Hall!

Thanks so much to Craig (the author) and Francis (the illustrator) for visiting and sharing some of Gina's adventures with us!

Don't miss your chance to see the exhibition before it ends on 6 September.

Did somebody say 'Meet the Creators'?

That definitely got Gina and Wolf's attention!

Don't forget that there is a Meet the Creators event with Craig Barr-Green and Francis Martin on Monday 10 August at Nunnington Hall! Join in the fun with a creator-led workshop, fairytale trail around the garden, and exhibition in the gallery spaces. There will be books available to purchase and have signed as well!

Will we see you there?

No need to book ahead, but standard admission does apply.

There will be copies of the books available to purchase and have signed, too!

Nothing com-pears to orchard produce! 🍐🍐🍐

These Catillac pears are looking very promising this year, with a great crop of fruit across all of the orchard fruit trees at Nunnington.

Now we're just hoping for some much-needed rain between now and October to help the fruit plump up and reach its full fruit potential.

As climate change continues to affect our weather patterns, making them increasingly unpredictable, these longer periods without rain are becoming more common. For now, we're keeping our fingers crossed for some steady autumn showers! ☔️

What's growing well for you this year? Let us know 👇
