Highlights of the Burghley House Botanic Tapestry

The Botanic Tapestry will be presented in two stages, offering a dynamic experience throughout the year. 

  • From 15 March to 21 April 2025, the flags will create a grand processional route through Burghley's South Gardens, set against the dramatic backdrop of Burghley House. 
  • The installation will then move to the Sculpture Garden for the summer season, starting on 26 April 2025. Here, it will be reimagined along the scenic banks of Burghley's Lake, with new artworks added by Graphic Rewilding.
  • Each piece in this captivating series draws inspiration from Burghley's lush gardens, wildflower meadows, and diverse ecosystems, as well as the intricate flora depicted in the still lifes, marquetry, ceramics, and textiles in Burghley's Collections.
  • Graphic Rewilding has infused their artistic interpretation, blending nature's beauty with contemporary art. Flowers, insects, butterflies, and foliage come to life with dynamic patterns and colours, reflecting the elegance and vitality of Burghley's thriving landscape and rich artistic heritage.
  • More than just a visual spectacle, Botanic Tapestry emphasizes the profound connection between nature and well-being.
  • This unique art experience invites you to pause, reflect, and immerse yourself in the landscape, fostering a renewed appreciation for the natural world around you!
