Events & Exhibitions at The Nottage

Every summer The Nottage hosts a variety of events driven by local demand. Artists book weekends or whole weeks to display and sell their work knowing that our popular venue will always attract visitors from far and wide.

Pop up shops, book launches, helping to facilitate the annual regatta. Our modern kitchen is also equipped to either cook a meal from scratch or facilitate a banquet ( as in the picture ) that are regular occurrences here as the building is flexible enough to accommodate all these different events. The Nottage also puts on an annual exhibition of its own, drawing from its extensive archive of local Wivenhoe history, photographs, and memorabilia.

The winter months see the return of the much-loved monthly talks. Heating up, screen down and the chairs set out for an interesting and informative delivery from experts in their field on many and diverse subjects. Always punctuated by tea, coffee, and biscuits. These talks are free to people who have become ‘Friends of The Nottage’, £3.00 per talk to everyone else.

Maybe you have an event we could help promote with our unique venue – just let us know.
