Plan your festive visit to Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery! We have special opening hours over Christmas and New Year, and some rooms will be partially closed on select dates for private events.
For full details, visit our opening hours page.
Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery is proud to partner with The Ealing Book Festival for its launch event generously supported by Savills. For the launch, writer and ex-BBC journalist Rory Cellan-Jones, in conversation with Rebecca Jones, discusses his newly published book Ruskin Park: Sylvia, Me and the BBC. This is a moving memoir in search of the truth behind his isolated childhood and absent father, in which Rory uncovers the papers, letters and diaries; that reveal a relationship between two colleagues (two romantics) and the restrictive forces of post-war respectability and prejudice that ended it.
