Owners of Doddington Hall
We are delighted to welcome you to Doddington Hall for our sculpture exhibition. Over the past several years we have held a number of summer exhibitions. Most of these have been inside the Hall.
This summer’s sculpture exhibition gives us plenty of opportunity to show off our garden. While August is not a gardener’s favourite month we hope you will find it a beautiful backdrop for the exhibition. Over seventy sculptors from all over the UK have contributed over 350 pieces to the exhibition.
The curator of the exhibition, David Waghorne, has sourced and sited the sculptures by matching the size and style of the pieces to the structure and planting of the various areas of gardens. We hope that you find the exhibition enjoyable and interesting.
Professional sculptors make a living by selling works and every piece is for sale through our gatehouse. Alternatively you might want to contact a sculptor to commission a work. Please see their details in this guide. We would like to thank our sponsors, most of them local to Lincoln, and in particular our lead sponsor Brewin Dolphin, who are celebrating their 250th Anniversary this year.
In addition to visiting the exhibition, we hope you will find time to visit the Hall (open Wednesday and Sunday 1-5pm) our Farm Shop, Cafe, Restaurant and India Jane interiors store.
