ART lovers are being enticed inside one of Worcestershire's most beautiful historic homes.

Hanbury Hall is currently home to Still Life, a unique art exhibition inspired by its surroundings.

Completed in 1701, the 18th century home, near Droitwich, is famed for its painted ceilings and staircase, stunning 20 acre garden, 395 acres of parkland, and beautiful views over the county countryside.

The exhibition is being put on by the Meadow Gallery in Ludlow. Starting in the property's 1740s orangery it will take visitors through groves and old orchards, along walled gardens and down Snob's Tunnel, a passageway formerly used by servants.

Participating artists include Daphne Wright, Jane Prophet, Roger Hiorns and Paul Morrison. For more information and opening times call 01527 821214 or visit www. nationaltrust. org.uk
