Maybe a bit late with this, but there is an exhibition of Don McCullin prints at Hauser & Wirth in Bruton, Somerset, but with only just over a month left to run (until 12th April).
I'm not sure how many prints are being exhibited; my rough estimate (number of prints per wall x number of walls) suggested there might be up to 100 prints on display, and there is work from his whole career.
The gallery is only open Wednesday to Sunday 12-5pm and entry is free.
For those unfamiliar with the place, Hauser and Wirth is an interesting art gallery, restaurant, bar and small garden, with good parking and a good (but pricey) farm shop. It's just outside Bruton, with good parking, and there is a path (away from the road) from Bruton town (with poor parking) and railway station. Bruton is an interesting place to visit, with several places to eat. We now go to the Sun Inn, which has an interesting Persian menu (as well as British). We don't go to the onsite Italian restaurant because I have Coeliac disease and need a gluten free menu.
Instructions for getting there are here;
They sell a range of art books, and when they have a photography based exhibition, the proportion of "photo to other arts" books increases, and then declines until sometimes there are no photo books for sale at all. It's still a place that's difficult to go to and not buy a book, or a copy of their company magazine; Ursula.
The garden was designed by Piet Oudolf, a landscape designer, and along with the Radić Pavilion (designed by Smiljan Radić) are considered part of the art on display by the gallery, As is the bar which was designed by Oddur Roth.
Overall, It's an interesting place to visit, even if some of the exhibits are hard work for me to appreciate.
Below are some pictures of my visit to the exhibition (including some of the gardens)
