Those attending the Garden Party will get free entry to the museum’s current exhibition ‘Rex Whistler: the Artist and his Patrons’.

Whistler, one of the most prolific and talented artists of the inter-war generation, was killed on active service in the Normandy campaign 80 years ago.

Funds raised will help Salisbury Trust for the Homeless, which, more than ever, is dependent on the generosity of the public.

Classical music from Musica Rustica will provide entertainment and a relaxed backdrop.

Tickets, which include a drink and canapés, cost £15 and can be purchased on the door.
