Using money raised by National Lottery players, The National Lottery Heritage Fund supports projects that connect people and communities with the UK’s heritage. Vanbrugh 300 is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to develop a nationwide project that aims to broaden the awareness of Vanbrugh through special displays, free education programmes and lectures, throughout his tercentenary year in 2026.
VANBRUGH300: A year-long celebration of England’s boldest Baroque architect
If you like brash bold theatrical architecture, then you’re in luck, as next year will be filled with a celebration of Sir John Vanbrugh’s English Baroque. Often dubbed ‘The Rockstar of the English Baroque’, Sir John Vanbrugh was not only a leading architect of his age but also one of the great dramatists of the Restoration era.
