‘Her Court’ Young Masters Finissage Tea Afternoon: Saturday 11 July 2026, 3-6pm

Join us for tea as we celebrate the closing weekend of the exhibition.

The afternoon will include a special performance by Yasmine Holness-Dove. Performance Review combines movement, chanting and spoken word, drawing on Medusa and the language of tennis to explore power, oppression and the dynamics between women.

The event will also feature Cynthia Valianti Corbett in conversation with artists Carolyn Tripp, Elizabeth O’Farrelly and Loraine Rutt.

Order of the Day:

3-4pm: Curator Tour and Reception

4-4.15pm: 'Performance Review' by Yasmine Holness-Dove (Live performance)

4.30-6pm: Artist and Curator Talk with Cynthia Valianti Corbett, Curator, and artists Carolyn Tripp, Elizabeth O’Farrelly and Loraine Rutt

A final opportunity to see the exhibition, hear from the artists and curator and celebrate the closing of this special Young Masters project at Wimbledon Museum.

A closing tea afternoon for Her Court, reflecting on the exhibition’s themes through the social and symbolic history of tea. From tearooms as spaces for suffrage organising to tea gatherings as moments of conversation, fundraising and public visibility, the event connects Wimbledon’s local history with the wider story of women’s political voice and collective action. The exhibition is supported by an advisory panel including Helen Pankhurst CBE, great-granddaughter of Emmeline Pankhurst and convenor of Centenary Action.
