About the event
Did you know that Waddesdon Manor—best known for its French Renaissance glamour and Rothschild heritage—also houses a building dedicated entirely to contemporary art?
Tucked away in a limited-access site, Windmill Hill is a bold reimagining of a former dairy farm, designed by Stephen Marshall Architects. This striking hilltop space is home to a remarkable collection of cutting-edge art and sculpture—from Sarah Lucas and Richard Long to Tony Bevan to Michael Craig-Martin.
Join CAC for a rare private access to this extraordinary setting, where architecture and contemporary creativity come together in one of the country’s most unexpected art destinations.
Includes a visit to the Pablo Bronstein exhibition in the Manor House.
Followed by lunch at The Five Arrows (optional).
