Lucian Freud: A Self Portrait - Exhibition on Screen

Look into the unflinching gaze of Lucian Freud at the Mansfield Palace Theatre Lounge. This event invites artists, creatives, and culture enthusiasts to connect, relax, and explore. This Week’s Film: Lucian Freud: A Self Portrait For the first time in history, the Royal Academy of Arts in London and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston bring together over 50 of Freud’s self-portraits in one landmark exhibition. Spanning nearly seven decades, these paintings, prints, and drawings reveal Freud’s uncompromising vision of himself – both as an artist and as a man. From his earliest portrait in 1939 to his final work completed 64 years later, Freud’s self-portraits trace the evolution of his style, his psyche, and his relentless exploration of the act of looking. Together, they form a profound and intimate chronicle of ageing, self-examination, and artistic struggle. This cinematic journey offers an engrossing study of Freud’s life and work, reflecting his belief that art was inseparable from the intense act of observation. Why Attend? Witness more than half a century of self-portraiture by one of Britain’s most celebrated artists. Gain a rare insight into Freud’s psyche, process, and evolution as a painter. Experience the landmark exhibition from the Royal Academy and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Enjoy tea, coffee, and biscuits while connecting with fellow art lovers in an intimate setting. Date: Friday 16 October 2026 Tickets: £12.00 Certificate: PG

In a dazzling display of impeccably honed stage craft, David Benson brings Kenneth Williams roaring back to life in a portrayal of which the late Dame Maggie Smith wrote in a letter to Benson: "’You put the heart across me’, as the Irish say, for I thought it WAS Kenneth!" David Benson has most recently been seen touring nationwide with Jack Lane in their acclaimed Dad's Army Radio Show. ‘A masterpiece of comic timing.’ Evening Standard ‘Brilliant...truly remarkable.’ Mail on Sunday ‘An exhilarating one-man tour de force.’ Independent on Sunday
