This year marks the tenth anniversary of Art in the Elements – an adventure of ten orbits around the sun. In 2026, we’re journeying Across the Universe, filling the estate with light, color and the cosmic. From black holes and nebulas to the dramatic display of the Aurora Borealis and an imaginative excursion into the beyond – will there be little green men? Space jellyfish? An infinity of flowers & creativity awaits.
Admission to Art in the Elements includes a self-guided house and grounds tour and admission to Dan’s Cabin and Knole Cottage. Art in the Elements is the last weekend to visit the playhouses in 2026!
