 Various dates until November
Hardwick Hall
Drawing inspiration from the themes of female virtue displayed in the Noble Women embroideries, Khoo is now embarking on the creation of a new artwork. Using recycled textiles to complete the piece, visitors are encouraged to express their ideas and notions of virtue and to contemplate who embodies the qualities of a virtuous woman today.
Delving into these reflections, visitors will explore how these virtues and values can be communicated, signalling a collective aspiration for the qualities we wish to see in society.
Please note that visitor participation will only be available on the days listed in the schedule. The level of participation will change as the project evolves.
On days when Layla Khoo is not at Hardwick, the room will be open for visitors to see the progress of the lost tapestry recreation.
The perfect place to base yourself to explore the local area, this hotel is a short drive away from Creswell Crags, Bolsover Castle and Hardwick Hall.
It's proximity to the M1 also means you can easily access attractions in Sheffield, Nottingham and the Peak District.
There are a range of food offers throughout the week and a fully stocked bar to enjoy if you just want to pop in for the evening.
And why not escape and recharge in the spacious, tranquil surroundings of the Spa and indulge in luxurious treatments and therapies designed specifically for you.
