Visit to Nevill Holt Festival
FRIDAY 12TH JUNE 2026 (afternoon – times
tba)
We are delighted to have been offered an
opportunity during this year’s Festival to have a
private guided tour of David Ross’ art collection in
Nevill Holt Hall together with a talk by this year’s
Festival featured artist, Harland Miller all for
£25/head.
David Ross has built a unique collection of artwork
by 20th Century artists, which isn’t often available
for public view. The Hall itself dates back to the
13th Century, with many famous owners from the
Kirby and Nevill families to the Cunards, all
championing the arts.
Harland Miller is a leading international artist and
an exhibition of his work, including The Great
Elephant Migration will be displayed in the grounds
this year. He is also a writer, whose work is
infused with irreverent northern English humour
and his lifelong love of language. His work
synthesises references from both high and low
culture, spanning literature, music, self-help
manuals and medieval iconography.
After the tour and talk, you will have an
opportunity to explore the spectacular grounds and
beautiful gardens designed by Chelsea award
winner Rupert Golby together with sculptures by
Antony Gormley, Rachel Whiteread and Eduardo
Paolozzi and fantastic views over three counties!
You may also wish to extend your visit by booking
some of the other events that are on that day
separately!
