Out and about

 

Wednesday 1 July to Monday 31 August 2026 | Locations across Winchester

This summer, The Winchester Gallery is having a makeover!

We’re undergoing refurbishment to refresh our space and will reopen in September with an exhibition by Yolande Harris – composer, sound & video artist exploring the transformative potential of listening in times of environmental change. We look forward to welcoming you back!

In the meantime, we’re taking this opportunity to go Out and About, a gallery without walls, in our community!

If you are a school or community group that might enjoy a creative workshop led by one of our team, get in touch, we’d love to come to you.

Some examples of our community workshops this summer include a recent visit to the lovely Perlins Community Project based at Hilliers Haven. They are a day opportunity service for adults with learning disabilities in Winchester and the surrounding area and they do fantastic work in a really lovely space. We had a great day with them making and creating felt pebbles under a sun canopy in their beautiful garden that they created themselves.
