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.
This VANBRUGH300 newsletter looks ahead to a busy autumn programme of events and talks, while celebrating the success of the recent Vanbrugh300 Weekend in London, including the Georgian Group’s Open House event at 6 Fitzroy Square and a sold-out collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery exploring Vanbrugh’s correspondence with Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. It features a new article by Dr Nicholas Helm on Vanbrugh and the Haymarket Theatre, alongside details of his upcoming lecture with Dr Annette Rubery at Seaton Delaval Hall. The newsletter also highlights a panel discussion at Seaton Delaval Hall with Sandy Nairne, Sir Charles Saumarez Smith and Mark Newman, invites readers to enter the Responses to Vanbrugh writing competition before the 30 September deadline, and shares a roundup of forthcoming Vanbrugh300 events taking place throughout October.
