Visit
Cheeseburn Sculpture is a fantastic new destination for contemporary art in the North East of England. Our 2017 sculpture and exhibition programme has featured three curated gallery exhibitions and new artworks and installations throughout the gardens.
Visitors are very welcome to our last 2017 open weekends, 11am to 4pm on: August 26th/27th/28th, September 2nd/3rd
Cheeseburn can also be visited by appointment and group visits can be arranged.
(Please note, some parts of the gardens at Cheeseburn may be difficult to access for people with limited mobility and our gallery is on the first floor of the Stables building. Cheeseburn is unable to allow dogs due to the sheep in the surrounding farmland).
Cheeseburn supports artists projects and provides a showcase for sculpture, sound and educational projects with a unique atmosphere where people can encounter the work of new and established artists in the setting of the historic architecture and gardens of Cheeseburn Grange, Northumberland.
