Enjoy a quiet day at Chastleton, with fewer visitors and an artistic focus.
Over the years Chastleton has been home to, and inspired, a host of artistic minds. From fine art professors to painters, to housing many of the Ashmolean's treasures during the war, art has always had a home at Chastleton.
Inspired by Chastleton offers a chance to spend time enjoying the peace and quiet of Chastleton's gardens, whilst enjoying your chosen art form. Make the most of the morning light and set up an easel or a tripod and enjoy having Chastleton mostly to yourself.
Inspired by Chastleton sessions take place on Tuesdays 13 May, 10 June, 8 July, 5 August, 2 September, 10am-3pm each day.
£7 entry for all participants (including National Trust members). Garden opening only, house closed but toilets open. Honesty tea and coffee stand available in the brewhouse.
