Radical Rural gallery trail

Discover a new trail of artefacts, artworks and archives throughout our galleries.

"Radical Rural." A line-art illustration of an onion taking root in the ground.

About this event

Follow in the footsteps of radical artists and activists whose work embodies the spirit of England’s rural landscapes, summons the ghosts of nature past, and questions who really owns England.

Explore displays ranging from the protest song of a folk musician, to the physical manifestation of a folk tale; from radical mapping and campaign banners, to artefacts marking small acts of service.

Pick up your free trail guide at reception.
