Join us this Autumn as Greys Court once again takes a dive into it's incredible archaeological history, supported by the South Oxfordshire Archaeology Group. As part of Heritage Open Days, the dig alongside the rest of the site will be free to access for all visitors on 14, 15 and 16 September. The excavation will focus on the top lawn, investigating structures using geophysics that will hopefully shed light on medieval life at Greys Court. Explore history in action as archaeologists excavate the oval lawn—visitors are welcome to chat with the team and witness discoveries as they happen. Don’t miss the live finds processing nearby, where newly unearthed artefacts are carefully examined and documented. It’s a rare chance to experience archaeology up close—perfect for history enthusiasts, families, and curious minds of all ages. Standard admission applies on 12 and 13 September.

The Darling Buds of May: An art exhibition at Greys Court, 19 May to

This joyful exhibition depicts the natural world of woodlands, gardens, meadows and wildlife, with all the energy of nature and rhythm of the seasons in the Chilterns. Kate Findlay, Sarah Pye and Janet Richardson return for three weeks, to greet you, chat about and share their new collections for 2026. Kate Findlay is a textile artist and teacher who lives and works in the Reading and Henley – on-Thames area. Author, designer & textile artist Kate specialises in raw edge appliqué & embroidery. Kate’s love of nature is evident in her beautiful fabric collections inspired by birds & animals, which she incorporates into her textile art with layers of free-motion embroidery & hand stitch. Sarah Pye creates large impressionist paintings, freely and intuitively. There are never preliminary sketches or plans, only a blank canvas, lots of paint and the excitement of an idea fired by an exquisite view or image. Janet Richardson has been making and teaching jewellery for over 40 years and her designs concentrate on form and technique. Flow, texture and carving informs most of her work. She likes her work to be timeless, enhance the body and come to life when worn by the owner. Her work continues to be exhibited here in Britain and abroad, has featured in a variety of publications including Vogue and is part of the contemporary jewellery collection at the Dallas Museum of Art, USA.
