A Musical Afternoon at Kettle's Yard

Monday 10 February 2025, 2-4pm

Join the Friends of Kettle’s Yard for a special Monday afternoon visit to the Kettle’s Yard house. Jim’s grandson recently uncovered a document detailing Jim’s personal record collection. Inspired by this discovery, we have carefully curated a playlist to accompany a visit to the house.

This event has passed. £10.50 Friends (£7 Students, £14 General), booking required

Further Information

Join us for an introductory talk from our music expert, introducing the playlist and its connection to Jim and Helen’s vision for Kettle’s Yard. Take your time to explore the house at your own pace – whether you’re sketching, reading or simply relaxing in one of the many chairs, all while enjoying Jim’s favourite classical pieces.

Light refreshments will be provided in the café throughout the event.

Attendees are encouraged to bring a sketchbook and pencils, a book to read.
