Summer Family Trail: Adventures in Blue

Explore the push-chair friendly paths around the Gardens on our family trail this Summer. Follow Pipkin, a young dragon who feels lost and different because of their brilliant blue colour. Help Pipkin on a journey through landscapes, play spaces, and creative challenges to discover what blue really means. Along the way, build, draw, play, imagine, and explore—bringing blue back to life in surprising ways. From building towers to creating rivers without water, every stop reveals a new side of blue: calm, powerful, playful, and full of joy. A hands-on adventure for curious minds, creative spirits, and families ready to explore together. The adventure continues on weekdays in our Battery House with simple activities for all ages. Please note the Battery House will be closed on 14-15 and 29-31 August. Free with admission.

Expressions in Blue: Monumental Porcelain by Felicity Aylieff

Expressions in Blue continues Petworth’s rich history of collaboration with contemporary artists. Renowned ceramicist Felicity Aylieff has created several new pieces, revealed for the first time. Highly decorative floral fencai‑enamelled vessels take their inspiration from intricate wood carvings by Grinling Gibbons, while other sculptures draw on Petworth’s magnificent collection of 17th‑century Chinese porcelain. Occupying several rooms throughout the mansion, highlights include the Marble Hall, where visitors are able to walk around and through a ‘forest’ of huge blue and white pots, painted in cobalt blue glazes with brushstrokes full of movement. Climbing Petworth’s Grand Staircase, they can look down on another monolithic work, whilst outside two soaring obelisks stand between the house and the Upper Pond. In the exhibition gallery, film and photographs reveal the remarkable ‘making’ process and its sheer physicality. A selection of Aylieff’s fascinating mark-making tools are displayed, including giant horsehair brushes used to whip around the vessels to create energetic flicks and splashes.
