Booking and attending Friends excursions and events
Friends enjoy a visit to the Watts Gallery and Artists’ Village, as well as Limnerslease, artist G. F. Watts’ Arts and Crafts style winter residence.
The Watts Gallery and Artists’ Village celebrates the work of G. F. Watts RA, other Symbolist Painters and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The gallery is now also home to the beautiful ceramics and paintings from the De Morgan Collection which was sadly dispersed after the closure of the De Morgan Gallery in Wandsworth.
Our visit includes an exclusive lecture by Claire Longworth, curator of the De Morgan Collection, with time after the lecture to view the collection. Friends also tour Limnerslease, and have the opportunity to explore Watts’ studios and chapel, as well as the permanent collection and temporary exhibition.
Please note there is a fair amount of walking between parts of the site.
