New exhibition "George Washington - Relics and Representations"
Opens April 19th 2026!
In 1921, Sulgrave Manor opened to visitors following a transatlantic campaign to purchase and restore the ancestral home of George Washington. In subsequent years, individuals across the globe donated a remarkable collection of Washington relics, portraits, personal belongings and other memorabilia belonging to the first president, many of which will be going on display for the first time in 2026. Come and see our new exhibition exploring the legacy of George Washington and his representation in art and popular culture.
Look out for further details on our social media and website.

A wonderful evening of music from Fiori Musicali in our Courtyard Hall
The year 1776 – a decisive moment in the world order – saw British colonialism in the US reduced to ashes. Fiori mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence, metaphorically drawing the warring parties together in the ancestral home of George
Washington at Sulgrave Manor through music published by the ‘London’ Bach that same year.
Sunday, 22nd March 2026. Show starts at 6pm
(doors open at 5:30pm)
Tickets can be booked directly through the Fiori Musicali website linked below:
Visualise Textile Art Exhibition at Sulgrave Manor
We are thrilled to be hosting this exhibition of contemporary stitched art, textiles and mixed media work at Sulgrave Manor by the Visualise textile group. It includes artwork inspired by the manor, gardens and the history of the ancestral home of George Washington, and coincides with the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence. On display will be abstract, realistic and figurative art using a wide variety of media: paper, fabric (new, distressed and recycled) and found objects: these are hand and machine stitched or felted, to create art inspired by both the natural world and the built environment. Framed artwork, accessories and gifts are available to purchase.
Visualise was formed several years ago, by like-minded artists who enjoy creating diverse work with stitch as the common thread. Wendy Bates, Jane Caven, Anne Clayton, Janet Gosling, Bridget Hawkridge, Sandra Jenkins, Thérèse Kane, Karin Kirk, Mary Martin, Alyssa Robinson, Jane Stock, Val Taylor, Tessa Thompson and Rebecca Warrington meet regularly in Welford, Northamptonshire. The exhibition will also feature work by Nigel Cheney the current mentor to the Visualise textile group.
