Bampfylde Lecture 2024: A conversation with Philip White and Tim Richardson
Join us for a very special evening as we host our annual Bampfylde Lecture - held each year on the anniversary of the birth of former owner Coplestone Warre Bampfylde.
Philip White MBE, Hestercombe's founder and Chief Executive will be retiring in March, following a career of more than thirty years leading the restoration and preservation of this historically important and nationally significant house and gardens.
In celebration of Philip's contribution to Hestercombe this exclusive event will bring Philip together in conversation with author Tim Richardson. Tim is a garden critic and landscape historian, among the world's experts on the landscape garden movement, and has written numerous books on landscape design. Tim and Philip will be exploring the deep and fascinating history of Hestercombe's gardens and their relevance to the wider landscape garden movement.
If you would like to enjoy a supper with us before the lecture at 5.30pm, consisting of two-course and a small glass of wine, please add this in addition to your ticket(s) via our website.
Tickets are priced at £15 for non-members and £12 for members.
