Founded in 2009, Hungate Medieval Art is a charity promoting Norfolk's colourful medieval history th
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!)

Derek Morris
“I have always been stimulated by landscapes and certain kinds of architecture, particularly Romanesque and British Arts and Craft. But I am not a copyist and consider myself to be an Abstract/Concrete artist. Geometric form and the increasing use of colour as structure animate my reliefs.”
Bob Catchpole is a Norfolk-born sculptor who studied Fine Art sculpture at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, before going on to post-graduate study at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. He has spent a large portion of his professional career teaching sculpture, latterly becoming Head of Sculpture at Eton College, Windsor, for almost 30 years. He established his first studio in North Walsham, Norfolk in 1985 and has been based there ever since.
His sculpture, as one might expect, has changed markedly over the last 50 years. He has always used the relationship that exists in sculpture between the idea and the technique and has found inspiration in the tension between the demands of the medium and the idea.
🌞 Today is very final day to visit our current exhibition Enclosures by Gawain Godwin and Tom Lamprell
Don’t miss this beautiful show!
🌿 We will be open this afternoon from 1pm- 4pm today.
Tom Lamprell has made a series of concrete sculptures and a large beehive sculpture installed in the garden.
Gawain Godwin has made the three large paintings, in response to the beautiful Hungate church and conversations he has been having with Tom around boundaries, the enclosure of land, public and private space and ways in which areas within the Hungate would been used originally.
Gawain’s works are a second part to the exhibition he had at Hungate in October/November 2023.
Like the church and its interior, Gawain’s paintings reward longer and repeated looks. Initially they seem quite abstract, but given time, crude forms surface from the canvas. Fleshy organisms shift and unravel in perspective, airbourne vapours surge through the spaces and shimmering pools of liquid coalesce and corrupt each other. What do you see in them? Parachutists tumbling in freefall, primordial beings locked in a ritual dance, the memory of a flower in a field? His work is rooted in the organic; nodes of nasturtiums seek places to grow, and newts chase their own tails.

Behind the scenes of installation preparation at Hungate for our next exhibition Enclosures, featuring works by Gawain Godwin and Tom Lamprell.✨
Opening night this Friday 6-8pm!
About Gawain’s work- extract taken from The Ragged Staff, words by Finn Brocklesby:
‘Like the church and its interior, Gawain’s paintings reward longer and repeated looks. Initially they seem quite abstract, but given time, crude forms surface from the canvas. Fleshy organisms shift and unravel in perspective, airbourne vapours surge through the spaces and shimmering pools of liquid coalesce and corrupt each other. What do you see in them? Parachutists tumbling in freefall, primordial beings locked in a ritual dance, the memory of a flower in a field? His work is rooted in the organic; nodes of nasturtiums seek places to grow, and newts chase their own tails.
There is movement and there is teetering stillness, the fresh bud of a poppy holding off its unfurling, cellular objects in a moment of stasis. Part landscape, part dreamscape we feel with the right breathing equipment we could plunge into the paintings or simply stand on the banks and watch them float by, drunk and becalmed.’
Enclosures will be open on Saturdays and Sundays from June 29th until July 28th.

Here are some beautiful pictures of one of the performances from Iuliana, which took place recently at Hungate.
🟠 Coming up this week we have the opening of Enclosures, an exhibition of painting and sculpture by Gawain Godwin and Tom Lamprell.
Join us for the opening on Friday June 28 from 6-9pm.
🌞 Join us TODAY for The Colour in Me: Live Performance (Saturday 22 June) at 4pm.
Exhibition open from 10am today.
🔶 Our Stained Glass Installation continues until Sunday June 23rd.
🔷 Stained Glass / The Colour in Me closes Heritage-In Vision (8 June – 24 June) of the Invertlight project with a live dance performance on the summer solstice.
Stained Glass, instead of being a vertical element, becomes a horizontal, tilted, curving, bulging surface slicing the nave and the chancel of Hungate. K.B. Izac’s work is a provocation at an architectural scale, challenging the perception of what was once a sacred space. The intervention is light, floating and mirroring as much space as possible. Meanwhile, light in all different spectrums of colours animates Hungate. The intervention makes space both reflective and transparent introducing more light and colour by mirroring the existing surfaces.
The Colour in Me is a dance performance that responds to K.B. Izac Tsai’s spatial intervention. For this, K.B. Izac Tsai has invited one of the most renowned choreographers in the Far East, Shu-Yi Chou, to activate the space of Hungate. The Colour in Me enhances the fluidity of space and introduces discursive elements of body politics within the mirrored, coloured, and distorted Hungate. Shu-Yi’s choreographic performance portrays a condition where the history of the sacred space has cut through time and humanity, suturing the body as it moves within the space. The human body awaits the light invading shattered pieces of time.
Join us for our last event of Invertlight in Hungate: space-light interventions in heritage settings with a live dance performance on the summer solstice, 21 June at 18.00 and on 22 June at 16.00.

Our beautiful garden contains a Catalpa plant, which is not only stunning but has some very interesting features too!🌳 For example, the ornamental shade tree produces dense clusters of white flower, heart-shaped leaves and long seed pods.🌱 They have a usual life span of 60 years, are adaptable to a wide range of conditions and are commonly seen as a decorative (pretty big!) plant.💚 Video by @artofimo 📸 🟠 Hungate Medieval Art is a charity promoting Norfolk’s colourful medieval history through free art exhibitions, lectures and events at the former church of St. Peter Hungate. #nature #churchgarden #garden #plant #catalpa #hungatemedievalart #norwich #norwichchurches #norwichgallery #norwichart #norwichartwork #norwichcity #norwichartists #contemporaryart
