Heathbound: art inspired by Hampstead Heath

Jon Mackay’s Heathbound: two walkers on a sunlit path across the Heath at dusk, foxgloves in the foreground and the London skyline beneath a full moon.

HEATHBOUND is an annual exhibition of art inspired by Hampstead Heath. As fresh as a skinny dip in the Ladies’ Pond on a winter’s day!

Heathbound 2026 brought together seventeen artists working across painting, embroidery, photography, illustration, paper-cut, printmaking, collage, miniature and sculpture.

The exhibition ran from 16 – 27 September 2026 at Burgh House, Hampstead, with a proportion of sales going to Hampstead Heath conservation charity Heath Hands.
