Artist in Residence: Matthew Eyles

Look out for our next artist in residence, Matthew Eyles, as he begins work on his upcoming exhibition 'Thresholds – Light, Memory and Place' at East Riddlesden Hall. Matthew's work will examine how light, structure and landscape interact within East Riddlesden's historic setting. The paintings, created in acrylic ink and watercolour on paper, will respond to the historic architecture of the hall while also reflecting the surrounding landscape and the National Trust’s ongoing work to care for places of historic and natural significance. Matthew's exhibition is on from Saturday 24th October 2026 to Wednesday 14th April 2027, in the Entrance Chamber located on the first floor of East Riddlesden Hall.

Cafe Life

Café Life provides SPACE – to talk, listen and watch. Café Life also provides TIME – to relax, rewind and relate. It’s open every Wednesday from 10:30am to 12.00pm. The world is constantly changing and life can become a real challenge, both physically and mentally. We are able to provide food hampers where necessary, and talk through any ‘life’ issues visitors may have. At CHC we believe in offering people hope in Jesus Christ, so part-way through the session we show a ‘life spot’ when we invite you to explore (if you wish) a Jesus-focused topic, introduced through a DVD or live talk. This gives the opportunity to take part in a friendly discussion, helping to improve independence and confidence. We provide excellent free speciality hot drinks plus a range of cake, buns and biscuits. Call in and visit us – everyone welcome.
