We have a trip to see this wonderful exhibition on Tuesday 27 January 2026, £48. Get in touch if you're interested.

The coach will leave Newbold Comyn (beside the Sports Centre) at 8.00am with the usual pick up
opposite the Spa Centre a few minutes later. We will have a stop at Oxford Services and hope to
arrive at the Gallery at about 11.00am.

There is no dedicated drop off point for the coach at the Gallery but the driver will park on College
Road as close as possible to the entrance, there is then a short walk to the Gallery itself.

There is a cafe at the Gallery serving light lunches, drinks, etc.
The coach will leave Dulwich at 4.00pm and we will come straight back to Leamington.

This year, we’re organising a visit to Dulwich Picture Gallery to see a truly special exhibition: the first-ever UK show dedicated to the paintings of Anna Ancher (1859–1935), one of Denmark’s most pioneering artists.

Ancher is celebrated for her luminous interiors, confident use of colour, and remarkable ability to capture light as it falls across everyday moments. Her work feels both intimate and quietly radical, offering a fresh perspective on late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century painting.

While she is a familiar and much-loved figure in Denmark, Ancher’s work has remained largely unseen in the UK. This landmark exhibition brings together more than 40 paintings spanning her career, including significant loans from The Hirschsprung Collection and Skagens Museum.

Set within the beautiful surroundings of Dulwich Picture Gallery, this is a rare chance to encounter Ancher’s work in depth — and an ideal opportunity to join us for a shared visit, conversation, and looking closely together.
