The event is to mark the publication of Alastair Langland’s new book The Buildings of Bedales. We will also see several other buildings, including the Art block (2016) by Fielden Clegg Bradley, and the Olivier Theatre (1996) by Hampshire County Architects. We will also see the first building built by Mary Medd, a former pupil.
