Sculpture
at Doddington
Every summer, the gardens at Doddington Hall are transformed into a beautiful backdrop for our annual sculpture exhibition.
From July to September, our walled gardens and romantic wild garden are filled with incredible works of art. Created by artists from across the UK and beyond, these striking sculptures encourage you to explore the gardens in a new and intriguing way.
Curators David Waghorne and Kate McGovern carefully select national and international sculptors to complement each area of the garden, creating an eclectic exhibition to suit a wide range of tastes, styles and budgets.
There are hundreds of sculptures on display, with surprises at every turn. Larger pieces are placed throughout the gardens, while the Stable Yard Gallery showcases a captivating selection of smaller-scale works.
Almost every piece in the exhibition is for sale - an investment that will bring enjoyment to your home or garden, while also supporting the career of the sculptor.

2026 Artists
Martin Adamson
Martin’s sculptures capture a moment in time, a fleeting glimpse of a beautiful animal in its natural environment. His practice is rooted in close observation, aiming to convey both movement and stillness in equal measure.
Val Adamson
Val Adamson is a figurative sculptor. Initially sculpting figures in clay, Val then casts her pieces into bronze, bronze resin and iron resin.
Louise Bandy
Louise Bandy creates galvanised wire sculptures of animals and birds that express movement held at its edge – as if the creature might breathe or shift at any moment. Her work is rooted in a lifelong fascination with the individuality, character and presence of animals.
Lloyd Le Blanc
Lloyd Le Blanc’s sculpture is deeply inspired by the movement and stillness of water, as well as the diverse landscapes inhabited by indigenous and exotic birds and animals. His work captures fleeting natural moments with remarkable sensitivity, bringing vitality and presence to each subject. Drawing on an extensive knowledge of bronze casting, Le Blanc achieved an exceptional range in scale, detail, and composition, allowing his pieces to convey both strength and delicacy.
Patrick Bull
Working from his studio on the Hampshire-Wiltshire border, Patrick Bull is surrounded by rolling downland and ancient woodlands like Savernake Forest, landscapes that continually inspire his practice.
Pippa Burley
Pippa Burley is an established figurative sculptor, exhibiting her pieces widely for over 25 years, and is held in many private collections, both in this country and abroad. Initially working purely from life, Pippa’s approach has developed into semi-abstracted forms, much influenced by Giacometti and Modigliani. All her work begins life in clay. Some forms she chooses to fire, others she casts, using the time-honoured method of waste moulding and Ciment Fondue casting.
