2016 marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of the landscape architect Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown. To mark this tercentenary the Heritage Lottery Fund has supported a festival of activities, open days, and resources under the banner ‘CB300’.

The festival’s objectives are to:

• Celebrate Capability Brown as an artist and landscape designer.

• Encourage an increased number of people and a more diverse audience to visit, learn about and enjoy Brown’s landscapes.

• Commission a range of interesting and innovative projects to encourage sites and people to get involved across the country

• Encourage a greater appreciation of our designed landscape heritage.

To learn more about Capability Brown and events taking place near you, visit the festival website www.capabilitybrown.org

This website has been made possible by a generous gift from the Howard and Abby Milstein Foundation.
