August Bank Holiday at Orleans House Gallery

About

With traditional patchy weather predicted and probable rain on Monday, we recommend you visit us at Orleans House Gallery! If it's sunny enjoy the River Thames, woodland and gallery grounds. Bring along a picnic or enjoy a tasty treat in our North Stables Karamrama cafe. If it's wet, there are 2 fantastic - and free - gallery spaces to shelter in and explore: Dinosaur Raah The popular Dinosaur Raah exhibition in the Stables Gallery enters its final week. Explore this exciting, interactive world of dinosaurs. There are a range of activities from shadow puppets to dino costumes - you won't want to leave! In Their Footsteps Over in Orleans House Gallery is our First World War commemorative exhibition. As it is a project with young people, there are a range of stories about the borough during the war, including a section on animal mascots, children's National Egg Collection and recreated Belgian shops, making it a very family friendly exhibition. There are also free art activities for children in both galleries. You can also pick up 3 bargains for just £1.00 each in our gallery shop: 1) Buy a Transforming Orleans House badge and all of the money is donated towards our exciting development project. 2) Our Arcadian Vistas full colour 144 page book is still only £1.00 while stocks last. 3) A ‘Thames in a Bag' set of wooden models of local buildings is on a special £1.00 promotion!
