Art Gallery | Athelhampton House & Garden

Athelhampton Art Gallery

During your visit to Athelhampton, in addition to the 20 rooms that are open to visit, you can enjoy the Athelhampton Art Gallery on the second floor of the historic East Wing, adjacent to the old Servant's Bedroom. This new art gallery replaces a smaller room on the West Wing.

The Art Gallery has space to hang over 60 artworks and is filled with plenty of natural light from its four windows, which offer stunning views of the gardens.

Admission to the Art Gallery is included when you buy tickets to the Historic House & Gardens or with a reduced cost ticket to gallery-only special viewings.

Artworks are for sale by the artist through Athelhampton. If you make a purchase, your admission is refunded.

In The Gallery - Gordon Rushmer

September 9th to March 2026

Every Picture Tells a Story

Gordon's work as a war artist alongside British and Dutch elite forces is well documented, covering deployments in Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Eritrea. But he has always been a working painter since his early training at art school and has travelled extensively in Europe and the United States of America.

This major exhibition of his work showcases the whole gamut of his skills and travels and includes a special collection of works devoted to Athelhampton House.
