Wellbeing Walks 

We offer a programme of monthly Wellbeing Walks focused on getting an hour of fresh air, exploring the local area and meeting people. On the walks you can enjoy Broxtowe’s beautiful countryside, whilst learning about local heritage, and of course, D.H. Lawrence.

Wellbeing walks will take place on the first Tuesday of most months, meeting at 10.00am at the Birthplace Museum on Victoria Street, Eastwood.

2026 dates will therefore be:

• 5 May
• June no walk
• 7 July
• 4 August
• 1 September
• 6 October
• 3 November

Exhibitions

Brinsley Art Group: The World of D.H. Lawrence

23 April – 13 June

Vibrant work shaped by local knowledge and a strong sense of place – this exhibition celebrates the life and works of D.H. Lawrence through the eyes of today’s artists. From coal-mining communities to sunlit foreign shores, the collection shows the people and places he knew and reflects the fierce passion and the restless energy that made Lawrence one of literature’s most compelling voices.

From Home

18 June -18 July

"Houses aren’t refuges from history. They are where history ends up.”  Bill Bryson (2011)

‘…every family has an undiscovered “museum” inside it. This project invites you to open yours.’  Li Ding, Curator, 93 Courtyard Museum (2026)

A new year-long initiative launches with the opening of the ‘From Home’ exhibition celebrating personal heritage and the meaning of home. We want to spark connections, curiosity, and storytelling. At the heart of this initiative is a simple idea: home is something we all share. Everyone is encouraged to identify treasured objects, memories and meaningful places, helping build a collective portrait of our shared lives.

This initiative is part of a partnership that has come together for International Museum Day 2026: Museums Uniting a Divided World.

Partners include, D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum, 93 Courtyard Museum, Beijing; Nottingham Trent University; Beijing Language and Culture University.

The Optimist’s Incomplete by SEVHAGE: A Poetry and Photo Exhibition of (Un)Finished Becoming and More

23 July - 13 September

Produced by SEVHAGE ABC4DE, TransitUs, and BBAAF, and curated by Su’ur Su’eddie Vershima Agema, this exhibition brings together poetry, photography, letters and handwritten notes, in a layered conversation around love, (dis)trust, memory, nostalgia, sensuality, migration, inheritance, fracture, healing, and unfinished becoming. The exhibition will also feature some open poetry readings inspired by its central themes.

Inspired in part by D.H. Lawrence’s poetry and literary oeuvre, the exhibition explores a broad range of themes and interrogates various shades of optimism – what it means to be or not be, and the incompleteness of what lies in-between in our contemporary reality.
