Turner and John Constable\, were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other\, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them. \n\n\n\nTate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a groundbreaking exhibition\, in London from November 2025 to April 2026\, and Exhibition on Screen once again has exclusive and privileged access to bring their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen in February\, so that you can enjoy both film and exhibition together. \n\n\n\nDiscover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts. \n\n\n\nTurner’s blazing sunsets and sublime scenes from his travels and Constable’s idealised depictions of beloved places from home whipped the public of the time into a frenzy of enthusiasm. \n\n\n\nConstable represents the very best of the old school of realism and pastoral nostalgia; Turner\, an exciting new way of depicting emotion and dreamlike impressions. Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’. \n\n\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side\, as they so often were in life\, on the big screen for the first time. \n\n\n\nDirected by David Bickerstaff \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important booking information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking information\n\n\n\nTicket prices: \n\n\n\nStabdard – £18.50 \n\n\n\nUnder 16s – £13.50 \n\n\n\nAll prices include any booking fees \n\n\n\nDates & times: \n\n\n\nSunday 15 March 2026 at 7.00pm \n\n\n\nRunning time: \n\n\n\n1 hour 30 minutes \n\n\n\nFilm rating: \n\n\n\nPG \n\n\n\nLocation: \n\n\n\nThe Theatre \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout The Theatre Chipping Norton\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nThe Theatre Chipping Norton\, sometimes called The Theatre\, Chipping Norton or Chipping Norton Theatre\, is a theatre\, an arthouse cinema\, a gallery and a concert hall in Chipping Norton. \n\n\n\nThe theatre has has 217 seats\, including stalls and a balcony.
