THE OTHER

After lunch, guests are invited into John’s Barn for the opening of The Other, curated by Colin Hyett. A collection of sculpture and installation exploring creatures imagined, remembered and invented.

Built by John Wrout to house his aeroplane collection, John’s Barn has since found a new life as the gallery and creative home of Hyett & The Captain.
