Emery Walker's House Exhibition Programme
Guided tours at Emery Walker's House conclude in our small exhibition space
March 5 - July 15, 2026 the exhibition on display will be Emery Walker: 'Both a Figure and a Person'
On the occasion of the 175th anniversary of his birth, Emery Walker’s House will be celebrating with an exhibition focused on Emery himself. It will shed light on the man whose talent both for craft and for friendship underline the house’s remarkable collection and its story. Bringing together several portraits of Emery with seldom-seen items from our archives, and poignant gifts and mementoes from his (famous) friends, this exhibition will paint its own portrait of Emery Walker, the figure and the person.

July 16 - November 28, 2026 the exhibition on display will be Printing Partnerships: Emery Walker & the Private Press Movement
This exhibition will chart Walker’s importance in the world of typography and printing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, from his first private press involvement with the founding and operation of William Morris’s Kelmscott Press (1891–1898), his partnership with Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson at the Doves Press (1900–1917), through to his final printing collaboration with Wilfred Merton and Bruce Rogers.
