We are delighted to be hosting a joint venture with Northampton High School throughout February in our Bassett-Lowke Rooms and Mezzanine Galleries.
The collaboration showcases our deep connections with the schoolâ€™s heritage. The diverse array of works on display have been created by alumnae students, most of whom studied A level Art and Textiles in recent years. All concepts shown are highly personal and it gives both the school and us â€“ as host â€“ real pleasure in curating selected pieces from the archive alongside works from the Class of 2024.
The show provides a retrospective celebration of the girlsâ€™ creative achievements within a space brimming with the schoolâ€™s history.
It’s a truly glorious reflection of unique talent of the future!

With theatre at its most dazzling, immersive and dramatic, with music, imagery, and film, she will take us through history and mystery, on an epic journey across the breathtaking landscape of the Languedoc – of Carcassonne, Toulouse, Chartres and the Pyrenees.
As she revisits the brutal 13th-century wars between Catholic and Cathar, 20th-century Nazi-conspiracy theories, and the modern-day Grail legends that still surround the legendary mountainside where the so-called heretics met their fate, she will also share the secrets behind her writing. Her characters will spring to life once more, in the light of her captivating inspirations, and the highs and the lows that helped her conjure up this timeless and beloved modern classic.
Join her at the heart of Labyrinth Live: Unlocking the Secrets of the Labyrinth.

Swan Lake
Tue 4 March 7.30pm

The greatest romantic ballet of all time is brought to life by Tchaikovsky’s haunting and unforgettable score. From the impressive splendour of the Palace ballroom to the moon-lit lake where swans glide in perfect formation, this compelling tale of tragic romance has it all. From Odile, the temptress in black tulle, as she seduces the Prince by spinning with captivating precision to the spellbound purity of the swan queen Odette, as she flutters with emotional intensity, the dual role of Odette/Odile is one of ballet’s most unmissable technical challenges.

The Nutcracker
Wed 5 March 2.30pm & 7.30pm

This most famous of fantasy ballets for all the family begins as night falls on Christmas Eve. As snowflakes fall outside, the warm glow of the open fire sends flickering shadows across the boughs of the Christmas tree and all the presents beneath. When midnight strikes we are swept away to a fairy-tale world where nothing is quite as it seems; toy dolls spring to life, the Mouse-king and his mouse-army battle with the Nutcracker Prince and we travel through the Land of Snow to an enchanted place where the magic really begins…
