Reviving Gothic at Tyntesfield

The exhibition will revive, reinterpret and explore the full Gothic spectrum. From its medieval beginnings, romantic renewal, 19th century revival and modern re-invention, Gothic has long offered people a way to express who they are, and to navigate the ideas, emotions and challenges of their time. Brought together at Tyntesfield, the selected artworks will encourage audiences to see the house in a new way as a place where the Gothic spirit continues to inspire and evolve. With diverse artistic voices and responses, the exhibition will demonstrate that while Gothic emerged from specific historical contexts, it has grown into a creative space that is open to everyone.

More about The Batches

Bristol, England

The Batches is a quiet corner of Bristol where the river water runs clear and the local character stays firmly rooted in community spirit. With no big venues to shout about, the charm lies in the small gatherings that pop up around town when the weather turns crisp. Neighbours swap recipes at street stalls while families find space for picnics on the grassy banks nearby. It is a place where you can walk home from the market with a bag of apples and a full heart, knowing exactly who lives down the lane.
