Lady Chatterley’s Cover: The Book Designs of Stephen Russ
2026-03-26 10:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-27 10:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-28 10:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-30 10:00 - 16:00, 2026-03-31 10:00 - 16:00 | Chippenham Museum, 9-10 Market Pl, Chippenham, SN15 3HF, United Kingdom
The post-war book designs of artist and teacher, Stephen Russ, are coming to life at Chippenham Museum.
From the forties to the seventies, Russ produced dozens of dust jackets, from striking first editions of Graham Greene at Bodley Head to a wide range of titles at Collins, including nature books and the famous Collins Crime Club.
He is perhaps best known for his work with Penguin, designing covers for the main orange series, the lesser-known music scores, and the highly collectible Penguin Poets series. His phoenix motif for DH Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover became famous during the 1960 obscenity trial and featured in the marketing that helped make the book a bestseller.
The exhibition also celebrates Russ’s thirty-year career as a tutor at the renowned Bath Academy of Art in Corsham, brought together with the generous support of the Russ family and loans from the Penguin Archive and the University of Bristol.

Sparkly Singers
2026-03-26 20:00 - 21:15 | Lansdowne Hall – Derry Hill
Sparkly Singers is the award-winning Wiltshire-based choir experience, founded with the simple aim of bringing the joy and benefits of group singing to everyone, regardless of age, experience or ability.
Rather than splitting into parts and learning harmonies, we prefer instead to sing in unison, infusing songs with our own rather unique mix of humour, movement and the occasional wacky prop.
Alongside our sessions in Chippenham (Monday lunchtimes) and Royal Wootton Bassett (Tuesday evenings), the Sparkly Singers meet every Thursday evening from 8:00pm at the Lansdowne Hall in Derry Hill.
So if you simply love to sing, but have yet to find the choir that perfectly complements your sense of fun, why not enquire about one of our FREE taster sessions and come and see what we’re all about.

No charge, no need to book, just pop in.

Chippenham in Motion
2026-03-28 14:30 - 16:30 | The Angel Hotel, Market Place, Chippenham, SN15 3HD
The Chippenham Players are doing things a little differently this year. Following the retirement of their long-standing director, Barbara, the group has welcomed an ambitious young director determined to shake things up and take the company in a bold new direction.
His vision? A site-specific murder mystery set in the 1920s. His style? Energetic, unconventional, and a little radical for this otherwise traditional amateur dramatics company.
This playful production invites you to step into the world of a local Am Dram group as they attempt to stage an ambitious historical tale of intrigue, secrets and tragedy. But as rehearsals unfold, not everyone is convinced by the director’s daring ideas. Will the cast rise to the challenge and create something brilliant, or will it all prove a little too adventurous for this sleepy market town?
Join us for this unique promenade performance, where the story unfolds across different locations as you follow the action. Your ticket also includes a cream tea.
⚠️ Important information:
• This is an outdoor promenade performance, so please dress appropriately for the weather.
• Please arrive at The Angel Hotel ready for the 2:30pm performance start.
We look forward to welcoming you for an afternoon of theatre, mystery and a touch of theatrical chaos.
