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.

Jilly Sutton
Jilly Sutton trained as a sculptor at Exeter College of Art and has developed a distinctive practice shaped by place, material and cultural influence. Early in her career, time spent in Nigeria proved formative, where the country’s rich traditions of carving and textiles ignited her imagination. Today, she draws inspiration from the ancient trees and woodland surrounding her studio on the banks of the River Dart in Devon.
Gevorg Tadevosyan
Gevorg Tadevosyan is an Armenian sculptor whose practice explores the delicate balance between individuality and collective human experience. Working primarily in bronze, Tadevosyan has developed a distinctive visual language characterised by elongated forms, rhythmic compositions, and a refined sensitivity to texture and movement. For over a decade, the artist has been creating sculptures that evoke introspection, vulnerability, and quiet emotional tension.
Noah Taylor
Noah Taylor is a multi-disciplinary fine artist and maker of sculptures and furniture with specialist skills in blacksmithing and mid-scale metals. He has many interests, such as the myths and legends from ancient Greece and the more contemporary heroes from the comics of his childhood growing up in Texas in the 1960s. These influences, coupled with an extensive knowledge of art history and a passion for the Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau and Art Deco, all inform the composition of his sculptural work.
