Experience the fleeting nature of the seasons through the work of Charlotte Verity, a British artist known for her meticulously observed paintings of plants and flowers.
Visitors will experience the changing seasons across five magnificent state rooms. Moving from winter through spring, summer and autumn, the exhibition will reflect nature’s cyclical pattern, returning at the end with a grand winter painting. It invites people to linger, look closely, and celebrate the subtle beauty of nature throughout the year.
The exhibition is interspersed with a series of painted poems both historic and contemporary, related to the seasons. In other areas of the House, visitors will also have the opportunity to view exquisite floral pieces from Harewood's collection, including rarely displayed Sevres porcelain.
Available to visit Friday to Sunday between 23 January and 22 March (open daily from 23 March - 7 June), the exhibition displays Charlotte's artwork through the seasons, beginning in winter.
Families can also look forward to a season of discovery and fun at Harewood this winter. From epic outdoor adventures to creative indoor play, Harewood is packed with spaces where children can explore, imagine and burn off energy, all set within 140 acres of beautiful Yorkshire landscape.
Families can climb, swing and slide in the huge Adventure Playground, get lost in the magical willow mazes of the Woodland Wonderland, and journey up into the Sylvascope Treehouse, all at no extra cost. Little explorers can also collect a Nature Safari Bag and head out on scenic trails to spot snowdrops and wildlife around the lake.
Inside the House, the Servants’ Hall Family Fun Space offers a cosy retreat with colouring sheets and creative activities that change with the seasons, a book corner, and family games. From art and imagination to dressing up and discovery, there’s something for every age, including a Charlotte Verity-inspired family trail. Plus, don’t miss free drop-in sessions like the Harewood monthly LEGO Club and Saturday Craft Club, running throughout the winter.
