Delighted to be at the National Trust Octavia Hill lecture last night hearing an important provocation from mary beard. Old places are just as important as green spaces in helping us understand 'the now' - how can we reinvigorate heritage & 'loosen up' so everyone benefits? 💪
Thrilled to have Carole Souter on board with us, an inspiring sector leader and advocate for access to heritage for everyone. Welcome Carole, looking forward to working together! 👏🏻🎉

A perfect evening to explore the exquisite new needlework exhibition at the ever-lovely ChawtonHouse. Emily's project draws inspiration from the collection, gardens, and stories of female writers interwoven with the history of Chawton 🪡

Toured Brixton Windmill as part of #HeritageOpenDays this weekend, a glimpse of Brixton's rural past and London's only surviving windmill. Packed with people keen to discover heritage on their doorstep - I've lived here 3 years and never visited. Heritage constantly surprises!
