Visit
Our next open weekend is the 1st and 2nd of October where we are delighted to open a new exhibition of prints and drawings by David Nash RA as part of the 2016 Northern Print Biennale.
Cheeseburn can also be visited by appointment by architects, developers, group visits and collectors. (Please note, Cheeseburn cannot allow visitors to bring dogs due to the sheep in the surrounding farmland).
Cheeseburn Sculpture supports artists projects and presents sculpture in the grounds of Cheeseburn Grange, Northumberland. Cheeseburn 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. Our Stables Gallery presents a changing programme of solo exhibitions..
