Last year, this award was won by Chatsworth, and today we are delighted to reveal that Donmar Warehouse, Glyndebourne: The Opera Cup, Houghton Hall and Gardens, The Cliveden Literary Festival and The Royal Academy: 250 Year Anniversary have been shortlisted in this category; please click below to discover why.
Cliveden Literary Festival
For 350 years Cliveden has served as muse to scribes and scholars including Alexander Pope; Alfred, Lord Tennyson; HG Wells; Rudyard Kipling and many others. The aim of the Cliveden Literary Festival is to evoke the spirit of these great writers and to restore Cliveden as a sanctuary for lovers of literature and a forum for lively discussion, innovation and debate.
Donmar Warehouse
The Donmar Warehouse is the home for leading artists to make world-class theatre that engages, inspires and entertains. They share our work with as broad an audience as possible. Their intimate space offers actors and audiences a theatrical experience unlike any other, while their creative development programme invites great theatre artists to push themselves and the boundaries of theatre-making.
Glyndebourne: The Opera Cup
There is nowhere quite like Glyndebourne: it is famous for producing extraordinary opera that attracts global audiences and artists, yet remains a quintessentially English experience nestled in the heart of the Sussex countryside.
Houghton Hall and Gardens
Damien Hirst at Houghton saw the Hall’s spectacular State Rooms re-hung with Hirst’s latest series of work, a development of his famous Spot Paintings from the 1990s. Many of his iconic sculptures were also shown in the Hall and grounds. This major exhibition provided a unique opportunity to view one of Britain’s most renowned artists in a historic setting.
The Royal Academy: 250 Year Anniversary
In 2018, the Royal Academy of Arts celebrates its 250th anniversary by unveiling a newly expanded campus designed by internationally-renowned architect David Chipper eld and supported by the National Lottery, with more space to make, debate and exhibit art than ever before.
In association with Wearisma.
