About

The Wonderful World of the Ladybird Book Artists

This summer, see The Wonderful World of the Ladybird Book Artists in our family-focused exhibition which celebrates the art of the Ladybird book artists from the 1940s to the 1970s.

The display includes original art, audio visual elements and the centrepiece Wall of Books featuring hundreds of original volumes from the period.

The exhibition is designed to engage younger visitors and to provide a dose of reminiscence and nostalgia for those who grew up with these classic works.

A touring exhibition curated by Helen Day, Ladybird book specialist and enthusiast.

The Wonderful World of the Ladybird Book Artists is on display from Saturday 28 June – Sunday 31 August 2025.

Entry is included with an Ushaw Membership or Day Pass.
