    Phyllida Barlow & Daisy Parris

    Announcing Wolterton's Arts & Culture Programme for 2026

    Simon Oldfield & Associates is pleased to present the 2026 Art & Culture programme at Wolterton Hall, featuring major solo exhibitions by Phyllida Barlow and Daisy Parris. Conceived by Artistic Director and Lead Curator, Simon Oldfield, the programme is delivered in collaboration with Guest Curators Clare Lilley and Gemma Rolls-Bentley.

     

    Following the success of Wolterton's 2025 programme, including Sea State, in 2026 we continue our focus on the interaction between contemporary practice and historic architecture. By setting two distinct contemporary practices against one of Britain’s most assured Palladian houses, the programme allows each artist to challenge and reframe the historic environment in different ways. Supported by our partners including Hauser & Wirth and Sim Smith, the initiative further includes our ongoing public programme with the Clay Research Group and an residency partnership with Norwich University of the Arts.
