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.

Nik Burns
Nik Burns has been creating one-of-a-kind sculptures that have been exhibited internationally since completing his Arts degree at Hereford College of Arts in 2013. His work draws inspiration from the natural world, with striking figurative pieces that feature larger-than-life insects, fish and animal forms.
Jeni Cairns
Jeni is an artist whose practice is deeply rooted in the natural landscapes that have shaped her life. A childhood spent exploring lanes, farmland and places reclaimed by nature has left a lasting influence on her work. She works across a wide range of mediums, including sculpture, painting, drawing, gardens and natural spaces, with a particular focus on metal. Using a hand‑held plasma cutter, she creates intricate imagery in materials such as reclaimed oil drums, agricultural machinery, new steel and corten steel.
Andy Carr
Born and bred in Lincolnshire, Andy draws constant inspiration from exploring the county’s beautiful Wolds and Fens, observing the rich variety of wildlife that inhabits these landscapes.
Martin Cash
Martin Cash is a full-time sculptor based in the Cotswolds, whose practice bridges the timelessness of stone and contemporary issues. Working across English stone, bronze, and resins, his evolving material palette reflects a commitment to both classical craftsmanship and modern innovation.
Michael Chaikin
Michael Chaikin is a sculptor with over thirty years of experience, creating work driven by movement, chance and joy. Originally trained as a GP in Brighton, he made the decisive choice to change direction. He studied at art college in Falmouth, Cornwall, before returning to Brighton to work as a sculptor. Although creatively happy, the need for larger studio space eventually drew him back to Cornwall, where generous industrial buildings allowed his work to grow in scale and ambition.
Danny Clahane
Danny Clahane is a sculptor whose practice centres on the carving of stone, working primarily in limestone, slate and marble for exhibition and commission. He trained at Canterbury College of Art before completing an MA at Wimbledon School of Art.
