Current and upcoming exhibitions

The Art of Lauren Child – Adventures with Charlie and Lola and friends
Saturday October 14 to Saturday December 23, 2017

This autumn, there is a rare chance to see a selection of original work, specially picked by Waterstones Children’s Laureate Lauren Child from her private collection. The exhibition includes richly detailed collages from the hundredth anniversary edition of The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Lauren’s iconic images and the utterly imaginative worlds she creates with her signature collage technique will fascinate and delight both children and adults.
