Exhibitions

Together

Part 1. 25 January - 12 February - A Lasting Love

To celebrate the Chinese Year of the Snake, the D.H. Lawrence Museum is proud to present a photographic exhibition from Chinese students studying at Nottingham Trent University to accompany a new digital recitation of D.H. Lawrence’s famous poem, ‘The Snake’. 

A Lasting Love is a photographic love letter to Eastwood and Nottingham from Feixue Huangdu, a Chinese student who studied in Nottingham and then made the East Midlands her home. Feixue Huangdu is a former journalist and is now a professional heritage consultant from Mainland China.

Part 2. 12 February - 12 April – First Impressions

From the surprisingly familiar to unexpected culture shocks, First Impressions showcases photographs of Chinese students who have just arrived in Nottingham to study, sharing their observations of Nottingham, Eastwood and the UK. 

Eastwood, On the Home Front, 1914-1918 (17 April - 21 June)

From the archives of local newspapers of the time, and from the town council records, this exhibition gives us a glimpse into how World War I affected the streets and the people of Eastwood that D.H. Lawrence knew so well.

Exhibit in our space

We host an exciting programme of ever changing exhibitions in our Gallery Space.  We love to promote our local community so if your group has an exhibition that you think would work well in our Gallery Space please contact us.

Gin and Gaslight (Returning 9 May)

Our hugely popular Gin and Gaslight event is back for Spring 2025 and tickets are on sale NOW!

A gin tasting experience with a difference will be on offer in Eastwood on 9 May, as the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum’s Gin and Gaslight events return for 2025.

This event will give guests a taste of Victorian decadence, with a chance to learn about and sample several gins, whilst experiencing this award-winning museum at night.
