Ten amazing UK escapes for art-lovers

From bronzes in Somerset to ceramics at Chatsworth House and an art deco hotel in Gateshead, combine seeing great art with a stylish stay

Questions of identity and power structures underpin Thomas J Price’s multidisciplinary inaugural show for Hauser & Wirth Somerset. Entitled Thomas J Price Thoughts Unseen, it includes film and towering figurative bronzes (until 3 January 2022). Stay at Number One Bruton, a 12th-century forge on the high street of this creative hub of a Somerset town. The 12-bedroom hotel is peppered with art by local artists, decor is low-key and achingly tasteful, and the leather key fobs are by Bill Amberg.
Rooms from £150, including a farmhouse breakfast in the Michelin-starred Osip, the old ironmonger’s shop, numberonebruton.com
