"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful" - William Morris

Beautiful & Useful is back, and we’re packing the museum with more of our favourite designers, artists and makers than ever.

We’ve got hand-painted wooden bowls, beautiful ceramic vases calling out for a few flowers to fill them, the swishest garden trugs we’ve ever seen, hand-woven willow baskets, satisfying stationery, lino-print home furnishings and more Christmas gift ideas than you can shake a stick at.

Skip the high street and support small, independent businesses this Christmas – at Beautiful & Useful you’ll be able to find gifts that are made with care, and shop direct from the makers themselves.

The award-winning Garden Café will also be open serving seasonal lunch, drinks and refreshments.
