Curated by artist Alexis Soul-Gray and A Plan Projects founder Catherine Bagg, The Winter’s Wayzgoose will feature exciting new works by 21 artists. Each exploring an aspect of the hall’s rich history, from the first performance of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream of 1594 in the grounds of the house to the disastrous fire in 1917, which left the building devastated. Copped Hall lay in an ever increasing state of dilapidation for over eight decades until it was rescued by a Trust of local people committed to its preservation. In support of the Copped Hall Trust 30% of sales of all works, will be donated towards ongoing restoration.
