Nearly ready for Castle Hill Open Day 2018 - Don't miss performances by Casson & Friends tomorrow! Check out their second video from our residency at the wonderful Kettle's Yard working with the local community to create performances inspired by #GORMLEYKettlesYard!

As part of Casson & Friends' residency at Kettle's Yard they've been working with the local community to create performances for Castle Hill Open Day 2018 inspired by #GORMLEYKettlesYard. Here's a little look at what they've been doing!

We only did the gallery but the conversion is state of the art. It’s a beautiful gallery now and lovely to see the educational area as well

Tucked away on the ascent to Castle Mound, this is the perfect space to absorb the artworks. There is coherence and you are not bombarded with room after room.

The old house is a must see in Cambridge. Quirky, interesting and stylish at the same time. The new gallery set up is a much better space but the content is very modern and may or may not be to your taste. Make time to visit but get there early in the day because the (free) timed tickets for the house are very popular at the moment!

Such a wonderful place, so lovely to be allowed to sit and absorb the art in such a relaxed environment. I only wish I lived closer to be able to visit frequently- to anyone who can take the time and opportunity to sample this

Small but perfectly formed. With welcoming intelligent staff. The Anthony Gormley exhibition was delightfully executed.

Lovely house. So full of interesting art work. I wish I had been able to stay longer. It was a relaxing inspiring place. I will visit again when I am next in Cambridge.

Loved how this house that seems full of light showed off a personal collection of art. Something different from every view where you are encouraged to sit and appreciate. The addition of the extension, also full of light, gives space to display more of the collection.

Added bonus of Anthony Gormley exhibits. Fabulous.

Love it here, will com again very soon xx

Jim Ede's house has been my favourite place in Cambridge since I first discovered it back in the late 1980's. So pleased it's reopened... and that it looks, and more importantly, feels the same. An absolute joy to visit and a gem.

I've wanted to visit since my student days. 25 years ago! Took my wife and children last week. We all loved it. A fabulous show in a lovely gallery. Thank you Kettle's Yard.

I found the best place in Cambridge !!

I Love this place

I Love this space

I like the house

I think it's ace.

Don't just come here to interspace

Or rush around at a crazy pace

Just take your time

No need to rhyme

I think you're gonna Love it here!

Fabulous to 'be' in this space again and excited to explore the energy that continues to thrive from Jim Ede's original vision... well done supporters of Kettle's Yard. Another exciting chapter... thank you

Every corner in the house is a masterpiece!

Amazing!

Amazing space. Whole family loves it.

A stunning tribute to the life and work of Jim and his passion for sharing his love of art. Memories and experiences live in this place....... refreshing. Thank you for keeping it going all these years!



Daniel. (Great grandson H.S. Ede)

Recommended visit. Lovely place. Enjoy the spaces and the art. Shame the cafe is small, great food though.

I only wish there was a list of the works shown in each room/space.
