Guided House Tour: International Women’s Day

To celebrate International Women’s Day, join us for a guided tour exploring the works by female artists in the Kettle’s Yard house.

  • 7th March 2026 - 7th March 2026
  • 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Created by Jim and Helen Ede, the house combines their collection of twentieth-century art alongside furniture, textiles, ceramics and natural objects in what Jim Ede described as ‘a space, an ambience, a home’.

On this guided tour, get to know the story behind the creation of Kettle’s Yard, gain fascinating insights into some of the artworks and objects on display, and learn about the relationships between the Edes and the many artists in the collection.

To celebrate International Women’s Day, one of our Visitor Assistants will highlight the female artists and makers and their significance to the Kettle’s Yard collection.

Guided tours last approximately 45-60 minutes and visitors are welcome to stay and continue exploring the house after the tour finishes. Recommended age for tours is 12 years plus.
