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
David Cooke
Drawing inspiration from the shapes, patterns and behaviours born from the natural world, David creates sculptures in a wide variety of styles and media in his workshop in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire. He has been creating animal sculptures in ceramic since his childhood but is constantly experimenting with new techniques, and materials, and is always ready to develop new skills such as bronze-casting, to turn his ideas into reality.
Sioban Coppinger
Originality and accessibility are words often used to describe Sioban’s sculptures. Her well-made and distinctive bronzes show her unique perspective. Deeply intrigued by materials, Sioban, always evolving, has developed ways of casting fine bronzes. Empathy and perception help her to make strong connections with both Public and Private Clients. Artworks can be found in collections, UK and abroad.
John Cox
Born in Dagenham, as a youngster John Cox was schooled by his grandfather - a master joiner, carver and restorer in the art of woodwork. Having developed at an early age, the ability to practise and develop skills in traditional joinery, veneer application, marquetry and French polishing, John soon developed an extraordinary ability to shape metal, wood and other mediums to produce original, tantalising sculptures and innovative interiors.
