Oliver Messel grew up at Nymans (where his father Ludwig designed the gardens) and went on to become one of the country’s foremost costume and set designers for both stage and film, either side of WW2. The National Trust-run country house is celebrating the connection with a lavish exhibition of his work. Raise the curtain at nationaltrust.org.uk
