Workshops, lectures, seminars and events provide intimate access to and expert interpretation of the House, its collections and exhibitions, for adult learners.

Events are tailored to meet a wide range of levels of prior engagement and aim to further the visitor's understanding and appreciation in a way not always possible on a normal visit.

Groups are kept small to facilitate a high quality learning experience.

Activities and events include practical art workshops run by professional artists, talks by contemporary artists, study days with experts and talks by curatorial staff on aspects of the historic collections of Fine and Decorative Arts, evening lectures and guided walks in the gardens and grounds.

Even when the House is closed during the winter there are Behind The Scenes talks and special tours.

The Exhibitions & Events leaflet carries information about the exhibition programme in the House and adult educational events. You can also visit the 'what's on' section of our website for details of events and special tours, Behind The Scenes Days and workshops throughout the season. If you would like to join the mailing list to receive this information by post please contact Curator of Modern Collections, Heather Griffiths on +44 (0)113 218 1018 or email: heather.griffiths@harewood.org to request a Harewood House Events & Exhibitions leaflet.
