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.

Upcoming Events

Wind, Tide and Oar – Encounters with Engineless Sailing

Friday 23 October – Doors open 18.30 Film starts at 19.00
Join us for a special screening of the award-winning documentary Wind, Tide & Oar — a beautiful and inspiring film about engineless sailing, traditional seamanship and reconnecting with nature, travelling under nothing but wind, tide and oar. Made by siblings Rose Ravetz & Huw Wahl, the film follows a remarkable journey exploring our relationship with the sea and the traditional skills that allow us to travel with nature rather than against it. And there’s a very special bonus… Producers Rose Ravetz & Huw Wahl will be joining us LIVE after the film for a Q&A! A rare opportunity to hear the stories behind the film, ask questions and discover more about the people and adventures that brought it to life. Perfect for anyone who loves the sea, boats, rowing, sailing, adventure or simply a great film! Cost £10 including popcorn – pay on the door (cash or card) Refreshments available
