14.01.2022 Have you visited our newly opened attic featuring the "Collecting: A Personal View" exhibition yet? Collecting: A Personal View explores the parallel public and private collecting practices of Clark and the Haywards. Spread over two floors, the exhibition examines the affinity between Kenneth Clark and his hosts' art collections, and how personal tastes can sometimes influence the building of public art collections. -... Kenneth MacKenzie Clark, Baron Clark of Saltwood (1903 - 1983) was one of the leading figures in the art world during the first half of the twentieth century, whose love of art changed the way we look at pictures. One early February evening in 1949 Clark landed in Adelaide. It was his last weekend before sailing home to England after a month-long sojourn in Australia. While here, he found his gracious hosts, The Haywards, to be people much like himself: art collectors who shared similar tastes and generously supported artists and arts organisations. In return, the Haywards had a peek behind the urbane veneer of the celebrated art historian to see an affable and diverting house guest. Clark's short visit was to have another, more permanent impact on the State of South Australia. After spending time with Director Louis McCubbin he offered to become a purchaser for the National Gallery of South Australia. Clark acquired twenty six works for the gallery over the next five years, expanding the narrative of British contemporary art in the gallery's collection. Photo by Russell Millard

12.01.2022 Ursula's Gin Bar 5pm-10pm, Friday 27th November 2020 / Then every Friday until the end of daylight savings! As a wedding gift, Ursula Barr-Smith's father gifted his daughter and her new husband, Bill Hayward, the land on which Carrick Hill was built. While their magnificent house was under construction between 1937-39, Ursula set about designing the garden and what a wonderful job she did. In homage to Ursula and her love of entertaining, we're launching Ursula's Gin Bar, a... relaxing way to unwind from a busy working week or a beautiful venue to catch up with friends. Surrounded by Ursula's precious garden, with spectacular views across the city, watch the sun set from a seat on our courtyard, enjoying the warm summer breezes with a cold glass of something in your hand. To kick off with a bang, we’ll be serving a special crisp Tom Collins made with Ambleside Distillers Big Dry from Hahndorf, lemon juice, soda water and sugar syrup served in a tall glass with ice. A perfect drink to enjoy under The Elms on the balmy evening we’re expecting. We’ve got all your favourite brands plus special boutique labels sure to get any gin-aficionado excited. And don't worry if gin's not your thing we'll have all of our regular cocktails, wines, beers and spirits available so there will be something to suit everyone.
