Celebrating the 250th anniversary of their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the ground-breaking Tate exhibition. Exhibition on Screen has exclusive and privileged access to bring you their extraordinary art and remarkable stories to the big screen at the Torch Theatre this March.

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. 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. Tate Britain is bringing these two greats together for a ground-breaking exhibition, in London from November 2025 to April 2026, so that you can enjoy both film and exhibition together. Discover unexpected sides to both artists with intimate views of sketchbooks and personal items and insights from leading experts. 

Turner’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. Constable 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’. Don’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.

Turner and Constable can be seen on the Torch Theatre screen on Sunday 15 March at 4.30pm. Tickets: £13. Visit the Torch Theatre website on www.torchtheatre.co.uk / phone the Box Office on (01646) 695267 or click here.
