Medieval Marginalia
Until 30th August | Free Entry
Artist Jonathon Beaver invites you to take part in a unique group exhibition at the Vault, opening on the 21st August 2025.
Hosted in our atmospheric gallery, a former bank vault turned creative space, this exhibition draws inspiration from the strange, whimsical, and often profound world of medieval marginalia.
Works displayed within this exciting new group show respond to the theme of reinterpreting these illustrations. These mysterious doodles and scribbles, once hidden in the margins of ancient manuscripts, are now an artistic springboard.
Expect creatures jousting, snails wearing helmets, or surreal beasts strumming lutes; nothing is too bizarre.
Set in the heart of Hamilton Square and regularly featured in film and TV productions, the Vault is the perfect setting for artworks that challenge expectations.
Private View: 21st August, 6pm - 8pm
Exhibition Dates: 22nd – 30th August 2025
Please be aware that the Vault is sadly not step-free accessible.
