20 July - 8 September 2024

The popular Sculpture Exhibition returns to Doddington Hall. The stunning walled gardens and romantic wild garden provides the perfect setting for over 300 works of art made by 60 sculptors from across the UK and beyond.

Curators David Waghorne and Kate McGovern have carefully selected national and international sculptors to complement each area of the garden and to provide an eclectic exhibition to suit all tastes, styles and budgets. A large indoor gallery located in the Stable Yard will exhibit a captivating variety of smaller-scale pieces.

Almost every piece in the exhibition is for sale, an investment which will bring enjoyment to your home or garden for many years and will help to support the career of the sculptor.

We are delighted to welcome you to our seventh Sculpture at Doddington exhibition. We have more than 300 inspiring works of art by 60 national and international sculptors set throughout our walled and wild gardens.

We’ve added numbered arrows through the gardens to showcase the breadth of work on display and help you make the most of your visit. Don’t forget to visit the Stable Yard where you will find a large indoor sculpture gallery.

Every sculpture is for sale and a purchase is not only the acquisition of special work but also supports the artists and contributes to the conservation and protection of Doddington Hall & Gardens.

New for 2024, our Kitchen Garden hosts our first Doddington Young Sculptor Award, curated by Doddington Hall’s creative lead, Angus Forbes. This provides an excellent opportunity to view the work of the talented budding sculptors together with works of art from some of the finest contemporary sculptors.

We thank David Waghorne and Kate McGovern from Sculpture Events for once again curating the exhibition and refining the quality and variety of the work. We also thank our sponsors for their generous support.

We very much hope you enjoy your visit.
