Conversations with Hornel

Event Details We are excited to be bringing you an extra event taking place at Broughton House on Friday 4th September at 6.30pm for a 7pm start. Tickets are £7 for Friends and Event Details We are excited to be bringing you an extra event taking place at Broughton House on Friday 4th September at 6.30pm for a 7pm start. Tickets are £7 for Friends and £8 for other NTS and visitors. Tickets are available by emailing This talk “Conversations with Hornel” the inspiration behind the paintings will be given by Kate prior to her opening at the Whitehouse Gallery which begins on Saturday 5th September at 11am Biography Kate initially trained as a Sculptor and Theatre Designer but by 1999 she made the decision to be a full-time painter. Originally from the Lake District she is now based on the Solway coast in south west Scotland and is also a member of the Society of Women Artists. Kate’s location and landscape hugely influences her subject matter and historically is a ‘painter of life’, using her en plein-air sessions and life drawing to feed her narrative paintings. These narrative works are developed from her love of the human form, pattern, chiaroscuro, and of course theatricality! They are initiated in the studio from mark making, working over studies and old work and a huge amount of experimentation. Themes emerge and the narrative becomes apparent, often stemmed from life experiences, past and present.

Nature & Outdoors

Foraging Full Day Saturday

In this full day foraging class Station House has teamed up with foragers Rachel French and Andy Lord who have foraged locally for over 5 years. We’ll be hunting for Porcini, Chanterelles, Hedgehogs and Wild Berries. The day begins at 10am with teas, coffees and factsheets. We will then drive out to various locations close to the cookery school to learn all about how to ethically and safely forage. What you forage you get to keep! Then it’s back to the cookery school for a cookery demonstration using what we have foraged and of course, lots to taste! All equipment needed to forage will be supplied but please wear outdoor weatherproof clothing and strong, sturdy waterproof boots or wellingtons. We’ll be using the navigation app ‘What 3 Words’ for the locations. If possible familiarise yourself with the app. If not, we’ll try to team you up with a partner! We have chosen a good time for mushroom foraging but can’t ‘guarantee’ how many we will find. As we are offsite from the cookery school you will need to sign a disclaimer on the morning regarding trips, falls and anything you may forage independently after the class.
