It is difficult to express just how wonderful it was to bring together so many extraordinary people to celebrate the launch of the Arts & Culture Programme @woltertonpark . It was the perfect weekend in every possible way. At its heart is ‘Sea State’, an exhibition with the legendary #MaggiHambling and @ro_robertson_ , which I’m delighted to say has received a stonkingly good response (more on that to follow!)! A little over a year ago I presented my vision to the Ellis family in the empty Marble Hall. A month later I was appointed Artistic Director and a year later the same Marble Hall is filled with the most incredible art by Maggi and Ro, created especially for the exhibition at @woltertonpark . I am so pleased that @gemmarollsbentley accepted my invitation to co-curate ‘Sea State’ with me - it has been a dream working with her. I strongly believe in the power of collaborations and that is also why we partnered with the @sainsburycentre on the residency programme with @onkruidenier , and also Norfolk-based Clay Research Group and artist @nessiestonebridge , whose work is also on display at Wolterton. Huge thanks to @russelltovey for treating us all to the most captivating reading of his short story ‘The Kiss’ written for my book ‘A Short Affair’ (presented by @pindropstudio ) and thank you @alicelilynnene for your dreamy music. Thanks to all our amazing guests (including my lovely Mum pictured with #stephenfry, #elizabethday and #russelltovey) and to the small but incredible team who made it all possible over the past year and made the launch celebrations so successful! More to come…there’s a lot of content! In the meantime, please visit the exhibition (book free tickets at wolterton.co.uk), hang out at @bread_source in the glorious library and book a room to stay overnight and enjoy #Wolterton, @mannington_hall and all the incredible art and culture #Norfolk has to offer from @houghton_hall to @guntonarms and @sainsburycentre #wolterton #seastate

Sophie Ward is an acclaimed actor and writer from North London. Her short stories have been published in numerous anthologies and her novel, Love and Other Thought Experiments was published in February 2020. .
