Henallt House on Oxford Road will be open on the evening of Thursday 11th July, from 5pm to 10pm.
The exhibits throughout the house are all related to nature and botany - the latest issue of the Cabbage Leaf has more details of what is in each room. Some rooms are dedicated to books or authors, such as My Kingdom of Books and Richard Booth in one of the ground floor rooms, Oliver Sacks, Frances Hodgeson Burnett's Secret Garden, Arnold Wesker in the kitchen, Rachel Carson, Ronald Macfarlane, Tristan Gooley and more.
Building work will be starting soon to renovate the house, and the hope is to set up a space dedicated to botanical illustration, with a specialised library, and possibly offering residencies to young scientists, botanical illustrators or apprentices involved in the natural world.
