The Brewer’s Art exhibition extended!

The Brewer’s Art exhibition at Hogarth’s House has attracted great interest and will now run until 2 December 2012, admission free. The House is open Tuesday to Sunday 12 noon to 5pm.

Work on the Dining Room ceiling is progressing – the new lime and hair plaster, installed after the fire, has been affected by the sheer weight of visitor numbers and is being replaced. This room remains closed for the time being, but should re-open about the time the exhibition closes.
