Otherfield
We are delighted to announce that we will be hosting Otherfield here at Letheringham Lodge.
Previously known as the Quadrangle Film Festival, this much-loved filmmakers' gathering continues. The strapline says it all 'the only thing you pitch is your tent'.
The website otherfield.uk is launched today and tickets are now available. We are expecting to sell out extremely quickly so please don't delay.
Landscape and Light
We were delighted to host and participate in a highly successful 7-day land art residency designed by UCS from the 24th to the 30th January 2016.
13 emerging and established artists lived on-site for the week which culminated in a Private View on 29th February.
The Private View attracted over a 130 people and the work produced was received extremely well.
We intend the event to be an annual event!
First artist in residence
We were delighted to invite our first artist-in-residence Harrie Fasher to Letheringham Lodge. Harrie Fasher is an Australian artist whose sculptures explore the horse and its relationship to humans on a physical, historical and mythological level.

Harrie was resident here from the 9th November to the 19th December 2015.
She produced this piece of work whilst resident and presented it to us on her departure.

We are delighted to announce that we have just won the Quality Of Place Award for Pure Conservation. Run by Suffolk Coastal Council it was announced on the 1st October and we collected the award with Antony Major from The Whitworth Partnership Group.

Tracks reverted
The previous owners had created two new access tracks without permission. Our first endeavour was to put back the previous tracks
Summer has arrived!
We always think the start of summer is marked by the birth of the Trumpeter cygnets. We have two very strong ones and two very proud parents. For those coming to visit us through Invitation to View, we are greatly looking forward to seeing you.
Letheringham Lodge Reunited
We are delighted to be able to confirm that the outbuildings known as Lodge Farm are now back as a key part of Letheringham Lodge. Although always curtilage, they were in separate ownership from 2010 but are now in safe hands. More pictures to follow.
Spring is in full bloom
The Lodge is surrounded by the acid colour of rapeseed. The swans are nesting on five eggs this year and everything is looking brighter and happier than it has done for a very long time. Roll on June.
