Arts & Culture

Northern School of Art student exhibition

A-level students from The Northern School of Art’s Middlesbrough campus have created a dynamic display of artwork inspired by the history of Ormesby Hall and stories of Ruth and Jim Pennyman. The hall will become a temporary mini gallery, and visitors can expect to see a showcase featuring photography, ceramics, textiles and painting. The library hosts some of the students' photography. The students have overlaid images that are reminiscent of the Hall - from close-ups of textile designs that feature in the rooms at Ormesby Hall, to excerpts from diaries from the collection - culminating in diverse and striking imagery. Future Creatives, an exhibition showcasing the work of seven emerging artists from the Northern School of Art college and university can be discovered in the dining room. We have brought these artists together, at the very beginning of their creative journeys, to form a collective display of ambition, resilience, and creative growth. The laundry will showcase three original panels. Each piece has been created collaboratively using a number of mediums and skills resulting in a diverse range of unique expressions of history in a contemporary form. Ormesby Hall is open Thursdays – Mondays, 10.30am – 4, last entry into the house at 2.45pm to close at 3.30pm. Normal admission applies to visit Ormesby Hall and there is no need to book to visit.

Nature & OutdoorsTheatre

Outdoor Theatre - As You Like It

Illyria presents As You Like It by William Shakespeare Four pairs of soulmates meet in the Forest of Arden. One pair leap straight into bed. Another pair are dumbstruck by each other’s beauty and pledge their undying troth. The third pair torment each other: he showers chaste love upon her which she haughtily rejects – yet secretly she enjoys the flattery. The fourth pair go further still, playfully blurring their roles and identities to such an extent that flirting becomes more pain than pleasure, and Love itself is pushed to the limit of its endurance – and beyond. Throughout the summer Shakespeare’s iconic comedy will be performed where its action is set – in the great outdoors, by a 5-strong cast of classically trained professional actors. Multi international award-winning Illyria has an unmatched reputation for excellence, forged over three decades, that dominates the outdoor touring theatre sector. Join them this summer for a night of laughter and romance under the stars in the beautiful grounds of Kirkleatham Museum, Redcar. Running time: 140-minutes (approximately), including a 20-minute interval. Gates for all ages.
