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
- Featured
Rachel Ducker
With an incredibly visual, active mind, Rachel has an insatiable desire to create and make. Well practised in life drawing and with an appreciation of the human form and the emotional dynamics of human nature, combined with being originally trained as a jeweller, lead her to experiment with wire as a medium for sculpting the human form, capturing something ephemeral, either emotive or active.
Sian Egan
Sian Egan is a painter working from her cabin studio, nestled within an English country garden surrounded by oak, birch, plum and hazel trees. She graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Loughborough University in 2015 and has been exploring the material language of oil paint since 2013.
Ed Elliott
Ed Elliott is an award‑winning sculptor best known for his large‑scale figurative works, many of which are often designed with specific sites in mind. Renowned for their innovative approach and strong emotional presence, his sculptures are defined by a distinctive tactile style that invites physical and emotional connection, earning him national recognition.
Roy Evans
Roy is a Wiltshire‑based sculptor who specialises in copper, creating distinctive two‑ and three‑dimensional works inspired by the natural world. His practice celebrates traditional metalworking methods, skilfully revealing the rich colours, textures and expressive qualities unique to copper. Each sculpture begins with a preliminary drawing or small maquette, allowing form and movement to develop before the metal is carefully shaped into its final piece.
Nicci Fairbank
Raised on a farm in South Australia, Nicci grew up surrounded by vast horizons, expansive skies, animals, and all nature’s elements. Her artistic practice took a back seat while raising a family, but creativity remained a constant, quietly simmering in the background. In the last six years, she has concentrated on metal sculpture, working with mild steel, creating pieces inspired by nature and her garden. Nicci finds the physicality of working with metal and its tools exhilarating and has started to explore using welding in an artistically painterly way.
Tobias Ford
Primarily concerned with movement and form, Tobias is interested in capturing intent, anatomical lines and the more subtle communicative properties of physical bodies – be that human, avian or animal. There is a mesmerising aestheticism about line, smooth or jagged, that inspires. The intrigue felt whilst observing gravity pull a gait is something Tobias intends to share with like-minded viewers.
