Flora and Fauna Photography Exhibition
From 15 November to 9 February
Throughout the year our visitors have been exploring Hidcote’s gardens and capturing photos of the delights they’ve found.
This winter visit the Entrance Hall of the Manor House to marvel at the talent of Hidcote’s visitors, and be inspired to take some photos of your own.
Do you think you've got the photography skills to have one of your photos displayed next year? Come back to find out the theme of next year's competition, and how you can join in from 1st January 2025.

Janet Haigh
5 April - 10 August 2025
In spring 2025, Hidcote will welcome embroidery artist Janet Haigh to the Manor House.
Janet’s work is inspired by gardens and flowers. Hidcote was one of the first gardens she visited in her early career as an embroidery designer and maker, and it changed her work forever.
Her major body of work The Flora depicts a personal overview of the history of flowers, while more recent collections include Flowers for Our Times, which illustrates the arcane symbolism and messaging that can be conveyed in a simple bunch of blooms.
Revisiting Hidcote after the pandemic inspired Janet to create a series of hand- stitched and ornamented giclee prints, or ‘Dressed Prints’ based on the garden’s handsome topiary birds.
Several of Janet’s works will be for sale after the exhibition.
Legend, Myth and Fairytales at Hidcote by Anderson & Low
2026
Photographic artists Jonathan Anderson & Edwin Low discovered Hidcote during the COVID pandemic, and felt themselves to have been transported to an oasis of calm, removed from the stresses and uncertainties of everyday life: “a world more akin to legend, myth and fairy tales than present life”.
Now, in collaboration with Hidcote National Trust, Anderson & Low will be creating an entirely new project, based around those first, primal reactions to discovering this magical garden, and created around the garden of Hidcote, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. The project will be premiered at hidcote in 2026.
Collaborating since 1990, Anderson & Low’s photographic art resides in numerous museums and collections, including the National Portrait Gallery (London), the Victoria & Albert Museum (London), the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Cleveland Art Museum, Museum of Fine Art, Houston and the National Gallery of Australia.
Their work is recognised for stretching the normal boundaries of photography, and the pair have worked with both the Star Wars and James Bond franchises.
We are very excited to welcome them to Hidcote for this unique new exhibition.
