Join us as the Icelandic Horse Society of Great Britain bring some Icelandic horses to Kelmscott Manor.

Come and see the horses in the grounds of Kelmscott and find out more about them and their connection to Kelmscott and William Morris’s very own Icelandic horse, Mouse.

The visit ties in with our current  exhibition “Mountains and plains and adventure: William & May Morris and Iceland”. Celebrating the centenary of May Morris’s first trip to Iceland, the exhibition showcases previously unknown diaries, artifacts, and art reflecting the Morris family’s deep connection to Iceland. Visitors will discover May’s adventures and compare them with William Morris’s iconic visits. Curated by Dr. Kathy Haslam and Dr. Emily Lethbridge, the exhibition highlights themes of travel, culture, and legacy, featuring items from the Society of Antiquaries, the British Library, and more.
