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.

Cheryl Gould
Cheryl Gould is a member of The Royal Society of Sculptors and creates sculptures that occupy an expressive space between realism and fantasy. After many years sculpting independently, she completed a Foundation year at Harrow School of Art, followed by a Fine Art BA (Hons) at Kingston Polytechnic. There she was inspired by her tutor, the late Dame Elizabeth Frink, which deepened her lifelong interest in mythology, magic and mystery.
Daren Greenhow
Born in England’s North East and now rooted in the wild beauty of the Brecon Beacons, Daren Greenhow swapped a career in science to devote himself entirely to sculpture, working from his studio in South Wales.
Gareth Griffiths
Gareth Griffiths is an internationally recognised sculptor whose practice explores the dynamic relationship between architecture, movement and materiality. With a strong sensitivity to form, space and balance, his work has been exhibited globally and is held in prestigious galleries, public spaces and corporate collections.
Penny Hardy
Penny creates sculptures distinguished by a powerful sense of movement and emotional intensity. A full‑time sculptor for over fifteen years, she has exhibited widely across the UK, with work held in private collections throughout Europe and the United States, as well as Australia and South Africa. Her preferred medium is recycled mild steel, which she uses to create figurative works responding to strong emotions and the physical impact they have on the human body. Penny is particularly interested in how external and environmental forces shape us, both physically and emotionally. By working with discarded, recycled machinery, objects originally engineered with precision and purpose, she aims to extend their life in a new form. Their inherent energy is re‑used, their original function exchanged to create something expressive and alive.
