Hungate Medieval Art is a charity and as such relies upon donations & volunteers to run. All our exhibitions are free to attend, and are held in Hungate, which is the former St Peter Hungate Church, on Princes St, Norwich. The church has a special significance, having been the first parish church in the UK to reopen for secular use, after being declared redundant. It became a stand-alone space for

the display of church art in 1936. Back then it was called 'St Peter Hungate Museum of Church Art.'

Controversial in its day, we continue to honour our premise of providing something new and exciting in a space filled with history. Our exhibition and events programs are available on our page and website. Opening Times - From end March to end October (In normal years that is - please check the web for exact dates!)
Saturday: 10am - 4pm
Sunday: 1pm - 4pm

We're sorry to even mention it so soon... but

After today there are just two weekends left of the Hungate season! We wanted to remind our supporters that these Saturdays and Sunday afternoons are great opportunities to pick up a few unique gifts for the art or history lover in your life. We have our own guidebooks, some related books - new and second hand - greetings cards based on the carving of our font, which would make excellent Christmas cards, and a few remaining paintings donated by Lui Zi-Ping from the exhibition Icon of Light earlier in the year.

When you but someone a present from Hungate you are also helping support our work and preserve this special place!

Autumn light in Hungate today - open until 4pm.

Unfortunately, due to the change in the weather, and limited booking numbers, we have decided to cancel the late summer fundraiser on the 28th.
It's not really feeling like 'late summer' any more is it! If you did book, you will be refunded automatically.

Art & Wellbeing on the 29th is going ahead as planned.

We've got a couple of interesting events coming up later in September. Join us for a late summer fundraising evening in the garden on the 28th, or (and?) for our first ever Drawing for Wellbeing workshop on the 29th.
Obviously the first isn't free - it's a fundraiser - but the second one is!
Book on our website at https://hungate.org.uk/whats-on/

Did you know? We are a charity, our landlords Norwich Historic Churches Trust are a charity, and so are many of their other tenants.
New to the family are Norwich Mens Shed who are taking on St Martin at Oak St. It should be a great venue for their work - but setting up in a Grade 1 listed building always has costs. Perhaps you can help?

We're relocating our workshops to new premises with long-term prospects, meaning we can support the wellbeing of men for many years to come.

Derek Morris & Bob Catchpole

Visit this exhibition - open every day from
1 August -14 August, 10am - 4pm

Bob Catchpole is a Norfolk-born sculptor who studied Fine Art sculpture at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, before going on to postgraduate study at the Slade School of Fine Art in London.

Derek Morris was born in 1940 in Birmingham, England, and grew up in an intensely creative family. His father was a craftsman/sculptor, his mother an embroiderer and his sister a silversmith turned jeweler. Derek studied Fine Art at Newcastle upon Tyne University where Victor Pasmore and Richard Hamilton taught the Basic Course which inspired a number of students to later become abstract artists. He graduated in 1963 with a First Class Honours Degree in Fine Art. Later, he became a member of staff there for two years and then moved to Norwich, England to take up a post at the Art School.

Derek Morris developed a Degree level Course at Norwich Art School and it became a first-choice college during the 70s and 80s. In the late 80s, he set up a ceramics facility for the sculpture school which inspired him to work in Ceramics for ten years.
