A Dangerous Novelty? The Age of Electricity

At the time Standen was built, this technology was innovative and new, yet it was also seen as dangerous and potentially harmful. This exhibition explores the social context of electricity and its use in the Victorian period through cartoons and illustrations from Punch magazine alongside examples of some of Standen's collection of light fittings by Arts and Crafts designer W.A.S.Benson.

Inspired by Standen: The future of Arts and Crafts

Inspired by Standen is a joyful celebration of creativity, heritage, and the living legacy of the Arts & Crafts movement brought to life through the work of today’s most exciting makers. Showcasing work by today’s makers, designers, and artisans, the exhibition celebrates the enduring spirit of the Arts & Crafts movement—craftsmanship, beauty in utility, and a deep respect for materials. Fresh new pieces will be displayed throughout Standen’s historic interiors, creating an exciting conversation between the house’s original Arts & Crafts design and the fresh perspectives of modern makers. A curated display anchors the exhibition, with additional pieces placed across the house to highlight the movement’s continuing influence. All works will be available for purchase throughout the three-month exhibition, giving the opportunity to take home exceptional contemporary craft.
