An Evening at Arundells on Tuesday 15th July

15th July 2025

The personal art collection of Sir Edward Heath, housed inside his former home, Arundells, in Salisbury’s Cathedral Close, continues to fascinate visitors from around the world.

Paintings by Sir Winston Churchill, WL Wyllie, LS Lowry, John Singer-Sargent, John Nash, John Piper, Walter Sickert and both Augustus and Gwen John hang alongside Japanese woodcuts and the hand-painted Chinese wallpaper depicting the story of the “Monkey King”. Sir Edward Heath also collected sailing trophies, photographs, ceramics, model warships made by Napoleonic prisoners of war and musical memorabilia.

On Tuesday 15th July, John Axford, Alexandra Aguilar and Ed Beer will be hosted by the trustees of Arundells, holding three short evening talks to centre around a selection of items from the house. From 5.30pm, ticket holders will have the opportunity to enjoy drinks in the garden and explore the house and grounds, with talks beginning at 7pm, closing at 8.30pm.
