HIDDEN WORLDS

8th to 21st July 2026

The Horton Chapel, Haven Way, Epsom, Surrey KT19 8NP

 

The Horton hospitals comprised a group of 5 psychiatric hospitals built between 1899 and 1924. The chapel is the only original publicly accessible building remaining within Epsom’s 1000-acre psychiatric hospital site. Opened in 1901 to final closure in 1997, the chapel’s role was to provide solace for people experiencing mental distress, as a place of worship and from 1961 also as a music therapy centre. The Horton Chapel is now an Arts Centre.

​

The exhibition Hidden Worlds is themed around the experiences of the residents of the hospital and the pioneering psychiatric treatment and research carried out.

​​

For this exhibition we are pleased to welcome guest artists Louise Anderson, Linda Brassington, Mona Craven and Alison McHale.

Below are images of finished work and work-in-progress, as well as views of the exhibition.
