The Invisible Hands of Mompesson House: Artisans

This year, celebrate the unseen people who ran Mompesson House behind the scenes.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

How does the plasterwork stay up, how do the air twists get inside glasses and who decides what flowers are fashionable? If you've ever had any of these questions, you'll discover the answers this spring. An in-depth booklet researched and created by the Collections and House team will lead you through the house as you discover some of the tricks and techniques used by artisans in the eighteenth century and beyond.
