Join one of our knowledgeable Visitor Assistants for an introductory guided tour of the Kettle’s Yard house.
Created by Jim and Helen Ede, the house combines their collection of twentieth-century art alongside furniture, textiles, ceramics and natural objects in what Jim Ede described as ‘a space, an ambience, a home’.
On this guided tour, get to know the story behind the creation of Kettle’s Yard, gain fascinating insights into some of the artworks and objects on display, and learn about the relationships between the Edes and the many artists in the collection.
Guided tours last around 45 minutes and visitors are welcome to stay and continue exploring the house after the tour finishes. Recommended age for tours is 12 years plus.
Please note: The tour of the house includes steps in multiple areas. For access information please visit our access page online. You can also email us at mail@kettlesyard.cam.ac.uk or call 01223 748100 if you have any questions about access before booking
