Escape to the seaside this summer with a visit to Lady Lever Art Gallery’s refreshing exhibition, ‘Beside the Seaside: the British Impressionists’. This sunny collection of paintings will trigger precious memories of childhood holidays, as well as giving a taste of the traditional Victorian and Edwardian seaside.

They cover themes such as: Bathing and Paddling, The Beach, Nature and The View. Pictures by some of the most prominent figures in British Impressionism are on show, including Charles Conder, Elizabeth Forbes, Edward Atkinson Hornel, Walter Richard Sickert, Philip Wilson Steer, Henry Scott Tuke, Laura Knight and Stanhope Alexander Forbes.
